HOW TO GROW MIZUNA
Start indoors 4 weeks before last frost, plant out 2–3 weeks before frost. For fall harvest, transplant 10 weeks before first frost, without additional protection. In a hoophouse, you can plant 2-3 weeks later. Direct seed after last frost. Tender Asian greens prefer cool early summer and fall temperatures between 60-77˚F and night time temps above 40˚F.
