**Planting Instructions:**
* **Soil Preparation:** Choose a well-drained, fertile soil for planting. Florida Broadleaf Mustard thrives in soil that is rich in organic matter. Work compost or well-rotted manure into the soil to enhance its fertility.
* **Planting Time:** Sow the seeds directly into the garden in early spring for a cool-season crop or in late summer for a fall crop. Florida Broadleaf Mustard prefers cooler temperatures and can tolerate light frost.
* **Sowing:** Plant the seeds about ¼ inch deep and space them 6 to 12 inches apart in rows. You can also scatter them for a more relaxed planting.
* **Watering:** Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Adequate moisture is essential for tender and flavorful Florida Broadleaf Mustard greens.
* **Thinning:** Once the seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them to leave about 6 inches of space between each plant. This prevents overcrowding and promotes healthy growth.
* **Harvesting:** You can begin harvesting Florida Broadleaf Mustard greens as soon as the leaves reach a desirable size. Harvest the outer leaves first, and allow the inner leaves to continue growing for future harvests.
