LATIN NAME: Brassica juncea
DAYS TO MATURITY: 21 baby; 45 full size
LIFE CYCLE: Annual
HYBRID STATUS: Open Pollinated
Tender and lofty with mild flavor.
Broad, bright green leaves with deeply scalloped margins are soft and tender with great loft. Slow bolting. Sweet and mildly spicy flavor. Plant densely so leaves remain a proper size for baby leaf and petioles elongate for easy harvest.
CULTURE:
Brassicas prefer soil with a pH of 6–7.5 and can be grown all season in the field. Most varieties are hardy enough to grow in cool greenhouses and high tunnels during winter from late summer and early fall sowings.
DAYS TO MATURITY:
From emergence after direct seeding.
DISEASES & PESTS:
Control flea beetles by applying fabric row cover at time of sowing and/or applying insecticides such as azadirachtin or pyrethrin. Cabbage worms and loopers can be controlled with Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). Prevent disease with crop rotation and sanitation.
HARVEST:
Harvest with a knife when leaves reach desired size, about 3–6". Make sure to cut above the basal plate for cut-and-come-again harvests. Cut again when plants are at desired size, 5–14 days depending on variety and season.
