Mustard seeds are best sown directly into the garden.
Here's a detailed guide on how to sow mustard seeds:
- Timing: Mustard seeds are typically sown in early spring or late summer. Check your local climate for the best planting times.
- Preparation: Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Loosen the soil and remove any weeds or debris.
- Sowing:
- Sow the seeds directly into the garden, about 5mm (1/4 inch) deep.
- Space the seeds 30-40cm (12-16 inches) apart.
- Create rows that are 40-60cm (16-24 inches) apart.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering. The soil should never be soggy or allowed to dry out completely.
- Germination: Mustard seeds typically germinate in 7-14 days at a soil temperature of 18-20°C (64-68°F).
In summary, mustard seeds are sown directly into the garden, ensuring adequate spacing, depth, and moisture for successful germination and growth.
