Mustard Greens Questions
A garden is in north Louisiana, USA.
Background of question: For past two years, bought mustard green seeds at a seed and feed store (not the little packages at supermkts). Each and every planting, the seeds went directly to flowering and seed making, with small leaves. Last fall, in one small corner of the garden, I let a couple of plants go to seed and allowed the see to fall where they might, and left that small area undisturbed. Where THOSE seeds came up the plants made huge, beautiful leaves, which I cut (rather than pulling the plants up -- due to their excellent production). Seeds I purchased commercially, and planted in the fall made tiny plants that hardly produced enough leaf surface to be worth picking. Now, needless to say, I am letting all those (and the few highly productive plants) to go to seed, and am planning to just let them fall where they may. There is a difference in season, however. QUESTION IS: Will the seeds that fall now come up in summer? Or will they wait to come up in fall? Should I gather the seed (after the pods dry) and plant them in fall to have big, beautiful plants like those mentioned above? Any information and advice appreciated. j |
