My eldest son planted mustard seed this year and was amazed that he could just throw out handfuls of seed and see something grow. So i was looking for some help to show him the results possible. Thank you so much for this instructional video. :)

Looking forward to your mustard video. We also use a fan like that too.. a tip an old Hungarian lady showed me when preparing seed to store. Is after you've used the fan. Then put the seed in a large bowl or bucket. Fill with water and keep the tap running slowly. Good seed is heavy and falls to the bottom. Brown seed or failed seed floats. Along with and bits of chaff. Slightly tip the bowl and the rubbish washes away. A little like gold panning. I do this with my poppyseed harvest. We also do as you mentioned. Alternating years. One year we grow a few years worth of poppy seed. The next we grow our paprika and chili powder crop. Another year linseed. And rotate. Great video. Enjoyed it. Thankyou.

fantastic video my friend. let me share with you a parable. The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field. Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs. keep up the good work :)

you could do the tray way but mustard is a plant that grows like a weed so, just spreading them on the soil and raking them in or not both ways work the same but surface seeds grow a little bit slower but not by much also snails and slugs don't really bother them probably because of the taste so when they are in the ground and your climate is wet enough your work is pretty much done you only have to wait for the seeding phase of the plant but in a dryer climate, you would have to water them once in a while. once in your garden you'll never get rid of them and they will grow back each year but, is that a bad thing if you like mustard-like me? of course not! also, the dead plant material you end up with, in the end, is great for your soil!

@@EnglishCountryLife I'm growing red kyona mizuna. It's the only thing that grows faster than the neighborhood cats and rabbits can trample or nibble :) My second planting was pulverized by hail, but that just motivated me to set tidy rows for my third planting of mustard. The first planting is a little beat up from my handyman stepping on them and the bad weather, but those plants have gone to seed a while ago so they just need to hang in a bit longer until harvest. Third planting already has seedlings even though I planted them only 5 days ago. My planter box will be full of my favorite plant both young and old by my birthday next week, every day growing this plant is exciting. They want to live even if the world is going to hell. I think there is something I can learn from them.
