Osaka Purple Growing Guide

Osaka Purple is a fast-growing variety of mustard green that is known for its beautiful dark green and purple leaves. It is a cool-season crop that can be grown in the spring or fall. Osaka Purple is also relatively easy to grow, making it a good choice for beginner gardeners.

To grow Osaka Purple, follow these steps:

1. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Osaka Purple needs full sun to grow its best. The soil should be well-drained to prevent the roots from rotting.
2. Prepare the soil by adding compost or manure. This will help to improve the drainage and fertility of the soil.
3. Sow the seeds directly in the ground in the spring or fall. Sow the seeds about 1/4 inch deep and 1-2 inches apart.
4. Water the seeds regularly. Keep the soil moist, but not soggy.
5. Thin the seedlings to 6-8 inches apart when they are about 2 inches tall. This will give the plants enough room to grow.
6. Fertilize the plants every few weeks with a balanced fertilizer. Osaka Purple doesn't need a lot of fertilizer, but a light feeding will help it to produce more leaves.
7. Harvest the leaves when they are young and tender. You can start harvesting the leaves when the plants are about 8 inches tall. Simply cut off the outer leaves, leaving the inner leaves to continue growing.
