Chinese Cabbage Seed - Michihili 500g

Sowing:Prepare the soil with compost or organic matter; Chinese cabbage prefers full sun or partial shade, and grow best in temperatures from 45-75 F (7-24 C). Direct seeding works best, about 4-6 weeks before the last average spring frost date. Plant seeds about 12" apart in rows about 12" apart; germination should take place in about 10 days. For a fall crop, direct sow in July.

Growing:Keep the soil evenly moist for the healthiest growth. If the sun gets too hot, Chinese cabbage tends to "bolt" or go to seed; in long periods of heat, some kind of shade may be helpful.

Harvesting:Harvest the entire head when it feels firm but not tough, cutting it off at the surface of the soil. The young leaves that grow from the stump make wonderful salad greens.
