When are mustard greens in season?

Answer 1

Harvesting for greens -- anytime after the leaves have gained enough size for your preference, but before they get too tough or woody.

Harvesting for the seed -- Wait till the pods have dried enough to get almost "crackly", then gently pull them off the stems. The pods can then be rubbed between your hands to get the seed out. Mustard Seed can also be combined if you have a large enough field.

Answer 2

If you live in an area that has mild winters and no snow you can plant it now. Otherwise, plant it early in the spring as soon as the ground is workable. That could be March or April.

Answer 3

Temperate or cool temperate climates, although some varieties have been bred to grow in near-tropical climates. Mustard is usually too disease-prone to grow well in subtropical areas, though.

Answer 4

Although they are available throughout the year, they are in season from November through April when they are at their best and most readily available.
