Also known as Japanese mustard spinach, the leaves have a decided tang that sharpens s they grow older. This truly historic edible plant has been cultivated for centuries and is a great pot or salad green that also lends itself well to pickling. The leaves are glossy and smooth textured with thin stalks, making them tender and tasty, especially when picked young. It’s one of the easiest veggies to grow, so it’s great for beginners.

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
Cut leaves as needed from about 21 days. Full maturity is reached in 60 days. Use your cut leaves right away.
