MUSTASA - Monteverde - HIGH QUALITY SEEDS - 5GRAMS

•Type: Mustard greens thrive in well-draining, organically rich soil.

•Amendments: Incorporate compost or other organic matter to improve soil fertility and structure.

•pH: Aim for a slightly acidic to neutral pH (around 6.0-7.0). 

•Timing:Plant mustard greens in the cooler months, either in early spring or late summer/early fall, to avoid heat stress and bolting (premature flowering). 

•Method:Direct Sowing: Sow seeds directly into the prepared soil, spacing them about 1/2 inch deep and 1 inch apart. Transplanting: Alternatively, you can start seeds indoors and transplant seedlings when they are a few weeks old. 

•Spacing:Once seedlings emerge, thin them to 3-6 inches apart to allow for proper growth. 

•Sunlight: Provide at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. 

•Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy, especially during dry periods. 

•Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer or compost tea periodically to support healthy growth. 

•Weeding: Regularly remove weeds to prevent competition for resources. 

•Pest and Disease Control: Monitor plants for common pests and diseases, such as aphids, cabbage worms, and downy mildew, and take appropriate action if necessary. 

•Timing: Harvest mustasa leaves when they are tender and young, typically 4-6 weeks after planting.

•Method: Cut the leaves close to the base of the plant. 

•Variety: Choose mustard greens varieties that are well-suited to your climate and growing conditions. 

•Succession Planting: Plant mustasa in succession (every 2-3 weeks) to ensure a continuous harvest throughout the season. 

•Rotation: Rotate crops to prevent soilborne diseases and pests. 

•Composting: Compost spent mustasa plants to enrich the soil for future plantings.
