This is just one plant, giant red mustard.  It takes up a lot of space, and we have 6 of them.  So pretty!!!

 

The bottom leaves are about 18 inches long, and as you can see it is getting ready to bolt.  See the little broccoli floret coming out of the center?  They are all in the same family, meaning they all flower like this:  mustard, broccoli, radish, kale, cabbage, turnips, the list goes on.  

 

We will add the upper leaves and florets to salads, and cook the lower leaves for bitter greens.  

 

I will take a wider angle picture of it, so you can see how big it really is.  That’s OK, it likes cool weather, so it won’t be here much longer.  That’s why it’s bolting.  

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
