This variety's leaves have the classic spice and sharpness of a good mustard green, and are more substantial in texture than other leafy greens. The glossy, highly toothed leaves gently cascade downward, making them an attractive addition to the vegetable garden. Jim Tjepkema received the variety from Dorothy Jones in 1990 and later donated it to Seed Savers Exchange. The variety's lineage can be traced to Georgia in 1839, through Dorothy's husband's ancestors. Instructions: Best planted as a cool-season crop in early spring or fall. For early-spring crop, sow seeds 4-6 weeks before the last frost. For fall crop, sow seeds4-6 weeks before the first frost. Plants can tolerate a light frost, which will make the leaves sweeter. Warm weather will make the leaves spicier. Direct Sow - 1/2" Deep. Germination 5-10 Days. Thin - 12" Apart. Light - Full Sun
