**Product Description:**
Welcome to Todd's Seeds, where we offer a wide range of premium heirloom seeds for your gardening pleasure.

Whether you're an experienced gardener or just starting, these seeds will bring the unique taste of homegrown mustard greens to your table.
**Planting Instructions:**
* **Soil Preparation:** Choose a well-drained, fertile soil for planting. Mustard greens thrive 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. Mustard greens prefer 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 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 tender 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.
