Giant Red Mustard
35-45 days. These handsome leaves must be seen to be believed: they are actually magenta, infused with fuschia and hot pink with a touch of chartreuse green. When young, the leaves taste mild and make sublime baby greens. Giant Red holds well and even though the older leaves contain more heat, they are tasty. Their mustardy-tang is especially welcome in stir-fries and soups. (OP.)

World cuisine has introduced Asian Greens to cooks everywhere. These piquant leaves are a boon, for most varieties are quick and easily grown. Many types thrive practically year round and, like all Brassicas, prefer cool temperatures and evenly moist soil. Seeds germinate in cool soil (about 45°F) so you can get an early start in the spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Running out of room? Grow smaller varieties like Tatsoi or Mizuna in pots, hanging baskets or wooden boxes. For baby greens, sow thickly and scissor-harvest at 3" to 4" tall. If your season is hot and short, shade baby greens with row covers or grow in dappled sunlight.
