How to Use Mustard Seed Extract For Your Greenhouse
For many gardeners, they are somewhat intimidated when asked about how to use mustard seed extract for growing microgreens. Microgreens, as their name suggests, are tiny, adorable little plants that look a lot like tiny grapes. However, they are actually a member of the cucumber family, Cucurbitaceae, along with gourds and melons.
Microgreens are cucurbitaceae, so you won’t find them in the garden in the same place as your favorite gourmet vegetables. However, they can be successfully grown in any location that has cool weather. They prefer well drained soil with an acid pH level. When selecting the proper spot for planting your microgreen seedlings, it is important that you do so where the soil can receive ample drainage, not where water stands in.
Before you plant your seed, prepare the area by removing all weeds and rocks from the area. Once this has been done, add two to three inches of soil, making sure that it drains properly. Then select a spot on the back of a fence or on a slope. Keep in mind that planting your seed at the wrong site can result in failed crops. There are several different varieties of microgreens, so it’s best to start with one of the common varieties.
The most popular micro green variety is called Stringberry. This one sports a deep red color. It is very easy to maintain and grows up to four feet tall. It has two growth seasons which result in a harvest of bright red fruit in July and August and red seed pearls in September and October. These are easy to eat and make a delicious dessert.
If you would like to try another variety of microgreens, try Cinnamon Toast or Roasted Mandarin. They also have red color but are not as sweet as the above mentioned varieties. These are easy to grow and can be stored for a long time without spoiling.
