    My first post….

    I have rather successfully germinated, in modules, a load of large leafed mustards (Jiu Tou Niao and Green Wave), more than I was expecting

    What spacings do people recommend when it comes to planting out?

    I intend to crop the outside leaves, much as I do with lettuce, to try and prolong harvest, rather than setting out new plants every s many weeks.

    Thanks in advance

    Paul

    It’s early for mustards Paul, yours my suffer flea beetle damage and earlier flowering than from sowings in early August – I would sow again in 2-3 weeks.
    Space as for all salad leaves 22cm/9in.
