The mustard green seeds, which I have sown in June, sprouted easily with just a thin layer of soil covering them and kept moist till the true leaves appeared.

After that, I just make sure the soil is moist all the time by watering two times a day - once in the morning and another time in the heat of the day or late afternoon.
Mustard green (Brassica juncea) requires only about six weeks to mature and it's ready for harvesting. Harvested mine after seventh week as one of the plants flowered already. I must say that they turn out smallish in size as I didn't put extra effort in feeding and they tasted slightly bitter after cooking.

Here was the timeline. The small round seeds were sown beginning of June. They sprouted in just a few days time. Can you spot the cotyledons?

After about 2 weeks, the true leaves were still small though growing steadily.

A month later, the leaves were still tender. Though edible, I didn't harvest them.

The growth progress of this annual is fast, and it's an easy vegetable to plant. I just gave them some time, and attention in watering, and feeding during those two months of growth.

Happy growing vegetables:D
