Mr Fothergill's Mustard Colour & Bite Seeds, Easy for beautiful spicy leaves. To grow as cut and come baby leaves or mature plants. Baby leaves can be grown in small spaces or even pots for the freshest selection of leaves all summer long. Also used in soups and pickles.

Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 1.5cm deep, directly into prepared soil. For cut and come again baby leaves, allow 15cm between rows or sow thinly direct into 25cm pots. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. No further thinning should be necessary, keep moist. Regular sowings made every two to three weeks will ensure a continuous supply of leaves. Pick a few from each plant when approx. 10cm high, they will regrow for up to 4 ‘cuts’. For mature leaves allow 25cm between rows and thin to 20cm apart. Harvest whole plants from May. Generally the larger the leaf, the hotter it will become.

• A good source of vitamin C
