In reply to Kerry Hosley. Very cool Kerry Hosley. Thanks for sharing that. Do they harvest the wild mustard or do they plant a different cultivar?

Not only is mustard beautiful, tasty and good for the soil, but for years my husband has run his 1991 Ford pickup on oil pressed from mustard seeds! He serves on the board of a Santa Cruz County business called Farm Fuel Inc which conducts research and develops mustard-related products for farmers and gardeners. FFI was initially started to develop a fuel farmers could grow themselves, but researchers soon found that the bi-product of pressing mustard seed has valuable properties as a soil treatment and amendment that can replace environmentally hazardous chemical fumigants. Check out the website to see more practical uses for mustard. http://farmfuelinc.com/

In reply to Ron Holman. It is very possible. A few references I saw say the Spanish brought wild mustard here but they were not super scholarly in the botanical sense.

do you think Portola brought the seeds here? It’s not endemic to Cali and that’s one of the theories

In reply to Christine Daniel Miller. In disturbed areas primarily - especially in and near cultivated fields and fallow fields.
