This last winter I pretty impressed with how tall and lush the mustard greens in my garden grew. Especially considering that my garden has been suffering from the nearby trees and local fungi extracting the nutrients from the soil. Given how much it has been struggling in the summer, it was great to see it do so well over the winter.
One nice thing about growing in your own backyard is that you can see when the flowers are blooming and cut them down long before their seedheads mature. Just by looking out my back window I could see how the plants were coming along and take care of them while they were still manageable.
