Mustard, Ho Mi-Zi -  (45 days)

Brassica juncea

This wonderful slow bolting mustard was originally obtained from the breeding work of Frank Morton at Wild Garden Seeds.  What makes it special is its high contrast leaves of purple veining on a bright green background, and wide midribs that grow and thicken at maturity, “horning up” into a great stir-fry vegetable. Salad size leaves are textured and colorful, with full sweet mustard flavor, but not too hot.  A fall favorite, hardy well into winter. Last mustard to bolt in spring.  SSF
