Purchase: 2 Mustard Greens & Arugula

Cost $3.25. Paypal Only. No Shipping Fees




Every garden needs a mustard green and arugula section. These greens will give you a bit of spice in your salads.

Make your own  mustard by letting the plant go to seed. When the pods turn yellow and dry, harvest them. Place the seeds in a blender with vinegar, spices and water... mix to preference.

A Google search of the seed names will show you all kinds of pictures through the plants development.
