It is a cold-hardy annual and prefers cooler temperatures. How to Grow Mustard from SeedAdd compost before sowing seedsPlant ¼-½" with a spacing of 6-8” between plantsMake sure it is planted where it can receive full sun to partial shadeWhen planting mustard, it is important to ensure that the soil is prepared and has enough nutrients in it. A popular way of preparing soil for this herb is by adding compost in before sowing the seeds. Upon placing the seeds, the planting depth for mustard is ¼ to ½”, with a planting space of 6 to 8” between each plant. Mustard is usually planted after the last frost of the season but can be planted as early as 4 to 6 weeks before as it is cold hardy. It is usually planted in the fall or spring. Mustard thrives in full sun to partial shade conditions. It is important to make sure that the soil is well-drained to avoid over-watering and retention of too much moisture. Mustard Companion PlantingAmong mustard’s companion crops are known to be yarrow, dill, and plants within the mint family. Since mustard can fall victim to pests such as aphids and flea beetles, these plants aide mustard by preventing these pests from eating or destroying its leaves. This is possible due to yarrow and dill attracting ladybugs and lacewings, which feed on aphids. Plants within the mint family, such as mint and lemon balm, repel flea beetles. By strategically placing these companion plants together, it helps remove the possibility of damages to the plant from outside forces. Plants that may benefit from mustard are fruit trees as it helps stimulate their growth. It’s important to not place mustard near bean plants as this can cause them issues with mildew, as well as a struggle for sunlight.
