I was able to successfully sprout some yellow mustard seed from the
kitchen. I'd like to try growing it in the garden. Has anyone else
done this?
Yes
When should it be planted?
Spring
Does it need a lot of sun?
Yes
Is it insect-pollinated?
Yes
I live in southern Wisconsin (zone 5a). The soil has a lot of clay.
Enrich and loosen it with organic matter.
The most tedious part is cleaning the heads to get the seed out.

Thank you both.
