growing mustard for seed

Feb 25, 2014 2 Replies

I was able to successfully sprout some yellow mustard seed from the kitchen. I'd like to try growing it in the garden. Has anyone else done this? When should it be planted? Does it need a lot of sun? Is it insect-pollinated?



I live in southern Wisconsin (zone 5a). The soil has a lot of clay.



Yes

When should it be planted?

Spring

Does it need a lot of sun?

Yes

Yes

Enrich and loosen it with organic matter.

The most tedious part is cleaning the heads to get the seed out.
