Shuidong Chinese Mustard Seeds. Non-GMO, Heirloom, non-GMO, Cool Season Annual. Shuidong mustard is named after the town where it was first cultivated, Shuidong Town, in Guangdong Province China. The best thing about this mustard variety is the stalks! They are crisp but quite tender and mild, and not super-spicy like some varieties. This variety grows very quickly, maturing fully in about six weeks. These sweet leaves combine well with the stalks for a great stir-fry, especially with some added garlic.

Thin the plants to 10 inches apart by harvesting the smaller plants if you are planning on growing them to full size and maturity. Keep the soil moist by watering weekly, more if necessary. If you are growing baby greens, keeping them at 6 inches apart is fine. For a continual harvest, plant a new row every two weeks or so, these grow quickly and will be fully grown in 6 weeks or less!.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Shuidong Mustard\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e At full maturity, harvest the entire plant by cutting it at the base.
