Mibuna- Green Spray, Hybrid
Brassica rapa var japonica
This Japanese green, is one of the easiest food crops you can grow. The plants produce tight 1ft tall clusters of sword-like leaves, that have a sweet, very light mustard flavor. Enjoy this cut-and-come-again green in a salad, in a light stir-fry, steamed, or even pickled. Because of the ease of growing, and it's heavy production, this is definitely one that we highly recommend. Because you may not be familiar with this vegetable, we have included a recipe below.

This quick stir-fry side dish is adapted from a couple of Thai-style recipes for oriental leaves. The fish sauce will provide enough salt, so you shouldn’t have to add any extra. Serves: 2.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch mizuna/ mibuna, about 300 grams
- 2 cloves garlic
- Thumb-sized knob of ginger
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce (nam pla)
- 1/4 lemon, fresh
- Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Wash and drain the mizuna/ mibuna. Roughly chop into 1-inch segments and set aside. Finely chop the garlic and shred the ginger into matchstick-like strips.
Place a wide and shallow pan or a wok over a high heat. Add the two tablespoons of oil, then the garlic and ginger, and toss around until golden.
Add the greens to the wok or pan and stir fry for one minute, stirring constantly. The leaves should soften but remain crisp. Add the fish sauce and stir, then sprinkle with freshly-squeezed lemon juice and black pepper. Serve warm or tepid

Bulk Soil
After you place your order, we will contact you to arrange the soil delivery. Please note that our trailer or dump truck is large and heavy, with a limited turning radius. We cannot be held responsible for any damage within 1.5 ft of the edge of the driveway or the designated delivery area. If there are plants, grass, artificial turf, sprinkler heads, or any other items within 1.5 ft of the edge, they may be damaged. We are not liable for any damage unless it is due to gross driver negligence. Driveway surfaces (concrete, shell, pavers, turf, etc.) and anything within 1.5 ft of the drive may experience cracking, splitting, breaking, depressions, tracks, etc. Please be aware that large item deliveries carry inherent risks. If the driver determines that it is unsafe to dump the soil in your desired location, they will either choose a safe alternative or the soil will not be delivered, but the delivery fee will still apply.
