That looks great Hoodat! Do you ever eat any of that mustard? Looks like it would be good in salad...

That does look good, Hoodat. I think it must be enjoying a little extra nitrogen. Good idea!
I haven't tried buckwheat honey before. I hear some people can't stand it, because it is much stronger. But I love sorghum, so I think I will like it.
ETA: My new pullets keep flying over my chicken fence and I've had to run them out of my winter wheat several times today. Then there's the mourning doves too... We are getting some nice rain today, so I hope everything will hurry and spout!

I've harvested and eaten it several times already but the weather is still warm here so I have to cook it. Raw it has a bite like horse radish. The next batch I plant should have cooler weather and a milder taste. I am making Chinese pickled mustard with some of it and it's almost ready.lesa said:

Wow, you are one industrious fellow! Is pickled mustard like the condiment, or something else entirely?

Hopefully it will come out just like the condiment you get on little dish along with meals at a top Chinese, Thai or Vietnamese restaurant - at least that's what I'm aiming at. it's coming along nicely but it takes time to cure right.

We're really straying from the original topic but that's how good conversations go.
How is regular (if there is such a thing) mustard prepared? You know, the yellow kind that comes from the store in the squeeze bottle. How is it grown? Mustard is something we have never thought about here at PlayStation.
PlayStation is what we named our mini-farm in the Indiana outback.

I just realized that you are the Original Poster, Smiles!
I wasn't going to drift any farther off-topic but . . . Here is how, eHow thinks you can make the yellow mustard for your hotdog (click) !
I like hotdog mustard on various things, altho' in a limited fashion. And, I like mustard greens, especially Asian mustards. Sauerkraut from cabbage is fine, altho' I don't want much. The sour mustard from the greens . . . I've had it, next time leave me out!
What I'd think might be real tasty are the seed pods, pickled! Yeah, I think I could go for that! Radish seed pods might be best, tho' -- it would probably be best to munch on a few to test for tenderness. The idea makes me wish that I was a pickler.
