Central IL zone 5B: I grow Red Giant Mustards and Green wave mustards from MI Gardners. Love the Red mustards!!!

[@TheMessyHomesteader]

I would love. to grow Red Giants! 😍

[@joecalato9329]

My first year for growing mustard greens. This video has really helped. Thanks

[@TheMessyHomesteader]

I’m so happy to hear that, Joe. Keep us updated on your journey and happy gardening!

[@jomiller4397]

Great video. I also sometimes use old coffee diluted I pour the cup inot a 5 gallon bucket and fill with water that seems to do well as a liquid fert. I do only drink black coffee, sometimes I add molasses to it which is also good for plants. Dilute is important.

[@TheMessyHomesteader]

Old coffee is great! I use my husband's spent grinds. Didn't know about the molasses but it makes sense because it's high in iron and other vitamins. TFS!

[@kittyskid1]

just the video I needed to see. so thorough. thank you.

[@TheMessyHomesteader]

Glad it was helpful, Kitty!

[@jessicaberrios9149]

Very nice garden and thank you for sharing~! I’m new to gardening this year and just planted my first crop of mustard, collard, and spinach~! Thanks for the tips~! 💕

[@tater357]

I've never grown any mustard greens, but plan on it this year. This past spring I finally growed some Pak Choi for the first time which really turned out amazing and to what I see, the growing of those isn't much different from this vegetable. What I like about the pak choi was when all the other things in my garden suffered from the artic blast of 2023, my pak choi THRIVED.

[@TheMessyHomesteader]

Good stuff! I love Pak Choi. I'm planting some in a few days. Glad you found that little treasure of a veggie plant!

[@Ginniccole]

Love it!! Intro let’s go!! This is a great video, I definitely learned a lot about the mustard green! TFS

Really enjoyed this video thank you very helpful thank you again

[@ericwilliams1124]

Im glad I found your video. Im about to plant some mustard greens and lettuce for the first time. I was surprised they dont attract more pest. Thanks!

[@TheMessyHomesteader]

Good luck and glad I could help, Eric!

[@devsaki]

I just sowed yellow mustard seeds before watching your video. It was directly on the ground and not organized like yours. Can't wait to see how they grow. Maybe will fertilize in some weeks with coffee grounds.

[@freddieivory625]

I really enjoyed your video!! Greens look great. Thanks for the tips. I’m growing. Red mustard green, will harvest some next week. Thanks

[@TheMessyHomesteader]

Ooh, red mustard greens sound divine. They are really pretty! I might pick up some seeds. Lol😎

I hope so too! Best of luck, lady. Btw, I'll be able to catch your lives when I'm done transforming my garden.

[@meghankelly6818]

This is really helpful! Will be planting some mustard greens this weekend for fall harvest. Thank you!

[@TheMessyHomesteader]

Wonderful! How did it go, Meghan?

[@meghankelly6818]

@@TheMessyHomesteader they're looking great! I have great output, but had some pest issues for first harvest, lots of holey leaves. But it seems to have resolved a bit seemingly on it's own. I'm still a novice gardener, so working through pests is a new world 😅

[@TheMessyHomesteader]

Thank you, Starlet! Did you grow the greens?

[@Michael-fk1lq]

First year i grew mustard greens it was giant red spicy mustard. I harvested at 28 degrees. I like to sear the most tender parts in a hot skillet. I haven't tried boiling the bigger stalks but i want to.

[@TheMessyHomesteader]

Now I want some Giant Red Spicy Mustard seeds! lol You are a soldier to harvest at 28 degrees but I'll bet the cold make them extra delicious!

[@Michael-fk1lq]

@@TheMessyHomesteader I hope you find some. It was definitely a victory over the grocery store.

[@Takes12know124]

New subscriber here! I live in the high desert, and im trying to start A garden on my balcony. I started from seed, but why did I add basil, and peppermint in the same pot🤷🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️😂 Im so happy that I came across your channel! I still have seeds left, to plant them correct way. Yeah, I just threw some seeds in A pot. Off to get bigger pots, and soil.

Awesome thank you! Good to see you Gt!! I've been so focused on my other homeschooling channel the last few months that I'm missing my garden buddies, dearly!

[@farmerjoe3466]

I love the way mustard greens grow(so fast) I just can't eat them cuz of the spice. Haha, i know, i'm wimpy.

[@JoyceCooper-h7j]

Pour off the first water which is bitter and add more water

[@tessaelps7143]

I need help my greens keep being ate up, I've tried and tried What do I do. Tessa

[@TheMessyHomesteader]

Are there caterpillars on your greens? Look closely and underneath the leaves. You can usually see the green caterpillars. If not, look for tiny black round pellets (poop), it’s from the caterpillars. Usually the white moths that look like white butterflies are laying eggs on your greens. Put a cloth or netting over your plants to keep them from reaching the leaves. HTH!

[@neilhughes9371]

Hi,thanks for your very watchable video.I'm wondering why every time I grow Zim Tsunga the plants bolt (flower) too early,any suggestions please?

[@TheMessyHomesteader]

Not sure of that variety, Neil. Make sure it's compatible with your garden zone. Bolting means it's too warm/hot for the plant. What zone are you in?

[@neilhughes9371]

@TheMessyHomesteader hi,thanks for your reply. I'm not sure what other,possibly more familiar, names there are either. I think they are a mustard though. I live in the s.e of England, what I call ,the Costa del London, joking.

[@chiefswindell3665]

You suggested broadcasting and giving them up. I tried last year putting them in rows but I think I planted them too deep.

[@TheMessyHomesteader]

I had that problem too. I've found that broadcasting (and thinning when they sprout) or planting just 1/2 in deep works well. HTH!

[@joshuarobinson5600]

I came for the mustard info. I stayed for the good lookin lady.

[@TheMessyHomesteader]

🥰

[@angieBhanson]

I wanted to know how to find the seeds in the flower of the mustard greens. Or is it the green in the center of the flowers?

[@chiefswindell3665]

So I can grow mustard greens in late spring in North Carolina?

[@TheMessyHomesteader]

I'm in zone 10b (southern Cali), Chief. Check your last frost date and then plant week or 2 after.

[@satoshi9391]

Where did you buy seeds?

[@JoyceCooper-h7j]

The fish emulsion is NOT 5-11 It is 5-1-1. This means 5% nitrogen, and 1% phosphorus and 1% potassium

[@TheMessyHomesteader]

Yes, you’re right. It is 5-1-1, but many gardeners say 511 courtesy of The New Orleans Gardener channel. It’s a gardener’s slang if you will. But I understand that newbies might not get that so thanks for pointing that out!
