🌱 Mizuna Madness: A Garden Win at Om Grown Community Garden! 🌱

This morning at Om Grown Community Garden, we celebrated an incredible harvest of mizuna, also known as Japanese red mustard greens. Our garden beds were overflowing with these gorgeous greens, and we couldn’t wait to share our success with you! Check out the photos of our bountiful harvest — we’re so proud of what we’ve grown together.

Why Mizuna Deserves a Spot in Your Garden

Mizuna is a versatile and resilient green that thrives in various conditions. Whether you’re tossing it into a salad, sautéing it for a stir-fry, or adding it to soups, its mild, peppery flavor elevates any dish.

But mizuna isn’t just a kitchen star; it’s also a garden hero! Did you know that mizuna can help deter pests like root knot nematodes? This isn’t achieved simply by growing the plant, but rather through a process called biofumigation. When the spent leaves are chopped and tilled into the soil, they break down and release natural compounds that suppress nematode populations, promoting healthier soil for your garden.

Grow Like a Pro

Mizuna is quick and easy to grow. It’s ready to harvest in just 6-8 weeks, making it perfect for gardeners looking for fast results. Plus, it’s a “cut and come again” green, meaning you can enjoy multiple harvests from the same plants.

In our Florida garden, mizuna thrives in the cooler months and can handle both heat and cold, making it a great choice for fall and winter planting. If left to flower, its yellow blooms attract bees and beneficial insects, supporting the garden ecosystem.
