How to Sow

Prepare soil with a lot of compost and organic matter prior to sowing. Chinese Cabbages can be started in trays but direct sowing followed by thinning is preferable. The plants will grow best in full sun in temperatures between 15 – 24C. Heat tolerant, but might bolt in extreme heat.

How to Harvest

Your stocky little greens should be ready within 30 to 40 days. They’ll be about 15cm tall when you pick them. If your plants start bolting, it’s usually because you’ve picked too late, so keep an eye on them!
