Mustard is easy to direct sow and will establish very quickly. 

  • Can be sown from March until September –  sow before the end of May if growing for seed
  • Make shallow drills 20cm apart and sow seeds along 1-2cm apart
  • Leaves are ready for harvesting after 3 weeks
  • Can be thinned to 5cm if growing for seed as plants will get bigger
  • White mustard is not frost hardy so if sowing later in the year for a green manure the winter will naturally kill off the plants
