Day 98 of 365 days in the community garden

Japanese giant red mustard seedlings self-sow readily in the garden. These deliciously spicy plants taste like wasabi and the leaves can be eaten raw, pickled or cooked. Once you've had Japanese giant red mustard in your garden, let it go to seed and you'll always have it! These little seedlings just recently popped up amoungst our broccoli.

"Every particular in nature, a leaf, a drop, a crystal, a moment of time is related to the whole, and partakes of the perfection of the whole." Ralph Waldo Emerson
