Red Giant Mustard Greens, Organic

Red Giant Mustard Greens - After tasting there wonderful greens, I just had to keep adding them to our gardens for early spring and fall. The purple jeweled colors are always so amazing. We stock these throughout the year from High Mowing Seeds and Southern Exposure - both are organic. Sometimes we have both and try to keep up with the inventory but I assure they both are amazing companies.
