How to Germinate Mustard Southern Giant Curled

How to Germinate Mustard Southern Giant Curled (Brassica juncea)

  • Sow Mustard Southern Giant Curled seeds directly outdoors in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest.
  • If starting indoors, plant seeds 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost date.
  • Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in well-draining soil, spacing them 4-6 inches apart in rows that are 12-18 inches apart.
  • Maintain a soil temperature of 50-75°F (10-24°C) for optimal germination, which typically takes 5-10 days.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period, but avoid overwatering to prevent seed rot.
  • Once seedlings have 2-3 sets of true leaves, thin them to about 6-12 inches apart to promote healthy growth.

Additional Tips

  • Mustard Southern Giant Curled prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in warmer climates.
  • Water regularly to keep the soil moist, which promotes tender leaves, but avoid waterlogging.
  • Apply mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer or compost to encourage lush foliage growth during the growing season.
  • Harvest the outer leaves when they are young and tender for the best flavor, using the cut-and-come-again method to extend the harvest.
