  • In this comprehensive video, I show you how to grow India Florida Broad Leaf Mustard Green in your garden from seed to harvest. I’ll give you quick background information followed by how to cultivate through sowing (broadcast and direct), fertilizing and watering. I then share how to harvest and store your greens while watching out for common problems with growing mustard greens. Finally, I add some “Nice to Knows” about this beautiful brassica so you can enjoy the full benefits of this plant.
    So sit back, take notes, and enjoy as we go on this gardening and self-sufficiency journey!
    Xoxo,

    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
      @TheMessyHomesteader  Před rokem +2

      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!

    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.

    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
      @TheMessyHomesteader  Před 8 měsíci

      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?

      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!

      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!
