Green in Snow mustard
Price range: $4.00 through $10.00
(Brassica juncea)
A very cold-hardy leaf mustard. Hot raw, milder if lightly cooked. The name, interestingly, is a “sense-for-sense” translation of its Chinese name (雪里红) which literally means “red in snow.” In Chinese culture, red symbolizes health, joy, and luck which, I would deduce, matches this mustard’s approach to winter.
Plant every two weeks while weather is cool; 1/8” deep, 2” apart thinned to 6-8”; rows 12” apart.
