Mustard Green in the Snow
£1.95 Average 400 seedsThese wonderful serrated salad leaves have a delicious mustardy flavour that add interest to any salad. It's a 'cut and come again' plant so just chop all the leaves off leaving about 1in poking out of the soil and it'll re-grow 4-5 times.
It's best to hold off sowing until the start of July because earlier in the year it will attract flea beetles that will pepper the leaves with holes, and it will bolt - rush up an produce flowers instead of leaves.
It's a perfect crop for salad leaves right through the Autumn and Winter.
Growing Equipment: A Grow bed or dutch trug is ideal if you have a patio.
