please advise growing own mustard seed
I make a lot of mustard throughout the year. I would like to try to grow my
own mustard seeds. How much seed could I expect to get from 1 plant? I usually use between 25 and 30 pounds of seed per year. To harvest it do I need to remove hulls? Wow so many questions for a simply bag of mustard seeds. Any advice would be appreciated. Pam |

Pam I grow a fair amount of different types of mustard, but collecting 25 - 30 lbs of seed seems like a lot. I usually let 3 or four plants go to seed and collect a few ounces of seeds from them for the next planting. So I would guess maybe an ounce per plant? And yes, you will need to remove hulls. I do it by hand given the small amounts, but it is very labor intensive. I'm sure there must be other ways of hulling them. David |

Given the yields here, a 20th of an acre?
http://www.nass.usda.gov/mt/crops/mussdayp.htm They would be easy to thresh but I could not imagine cleaning them... John! "Guppy21014" wrote in message ...
