Growing Mustard Greens from Seeds (with actual results)

Mustard is a winters plant although it likes a lot of sun. There are many varieties of mustard. In this video I am growing 3 different types of mustard greens. Mustard seed is used as a spice while mustard greens are used in salads, sandwiches and curries. Mustard seeds can also be pressed to produce oil.

Thanks so much for your expertise on growing mustard greens! The different stages of growth was exactly what I was wanting to see, along with spacing needs and sun requirements.

[@buyiyeni1699]

Thank you so much for this. I planted a little pot of mustard seeds a week ago, something I have never done before. I had no idea they will even grow and how much they will grow, how to harvest the greens, etc. Now I know 💙

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

And it's easy

[@kriti493]

I liked how you experimented with 3 different seeds, nice video!

I love mustard - I wonder if I would like mustard greens??? I have never had it to eat I don't think. I would love to try growing them., Thanks for the idea.

[@avs7559]

This video is just amazing.... Now question is that... In India in our religious process we have to grow yellow mustered seeds??? So can we do in this period?? Cause we do not need it for eating purpose we just need as a part of religious process?? Can we pls guide.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Depends on the temperature now. It will not do well in hot weather

[@hegeshnigovender4600]

Hi 😊 i watched your video to see what the optimal placement for sunlight of mustard seeds were and was very satisfied. Thank you!! Mine have just stared sprouting. Also, how do you cook/ eat these leaves? In South africa, we make herbs curry with greens of this kind...which you might know as bhaji i think🤔 yeah so just looking for other ideas

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

This is how we cook it www.ezpzcooking.com/curry/sarson-ka-saag-mustard-leaves-curry-recipe

[@thewhimsicalorthodoxoriental]

Fascinating. I have tried to grow mustard seeds 3 times. Once they pop up, I find that they tend to dry up. I am planting them in a dixie cup. I have a heater on it and it seems to 'burn' them. The air is not very moist. It is too cold in WA state to keep it outside. An excellent video. I am trying to grow it for my video about the Parable of the Mustard Seed

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

I think WA state temp should be good for mustard because they like cooler weather

[@thewhimsicalorthodoxoriental]

I plan to plant by the end of May. They are still growing well in the cups.@@EasyPeasyGardening

[@theuglykwan]

Those are good to grow and harvest young if you want to eat the greens. The seeds are basically in your cupboard. If you want leaves or stems then there are varieties specifically bred for that which are far more productive. Some of the big leaf ones produce insanely big leafs. It's amazing to compare and see how we've selected for certain traits. The ones with tender stems (chinese ones) are delicious pickled.

We useful Video. We do get white mustard seeds here in U.K. Does white Musrtard leaves will grow as yours and how about their taste when cooked (Saag) . Will it be any different , if yes in what way.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

I would say that each kind is a little different but mostly same. I haven't tried w hi it's mustard though.

[@eddieeskridge2159]

What can I use to clear up my plants,collards, kale,&broadleaf mustards all have white spots on the leafs,are they safe and edible?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

I would discard them. I use neem spray on other vegetables but if I see pests on leafy greens, I just discard them.

[@acestudioscouk-Ace-G0ACE]

Thank- you for this, it was very useful as I have some seedlings and wasn't sure what to do with them. It would be good if you could do a video of you cooking with mustard leaves.

How do they taste? When is the right time to sow it.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

It depends on where you live. They bolt in hot weather

[@violetcraze]

I think I have the same White mustard plant, they already bolted. Can I still use the leaves/stems like how you are harvesting?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Yes you can. Slowly the new leaves will become smaller and smaller though.

[@violetcraze]

Thank you. The leaves have been small, they look different than the "Mustard Greens" i see in grocery stores. I am unsure if they are edible. Could it be because it is hot now and it bolted too fast? (took about 1 month and started growing flowers)

The seeds

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Then don't cut the greens and they will produce tiny pea style pods, in which there will be tiny seeds. So once the seed pods appear, still leave them like that till the pods dry and then you can harvest them.
