Chinese Cabbage Seeds - Kyoto No. 3

Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in late summer/early fall in a sunny location. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Exposing plants to frost or prolonged temperatures below 50°F may result in bolting. Harvest time is fall to early winter. Note: Chinese Cabbage requires vernalization. Bud differentiation and bolting results from low temperatures of 41°F for a week or 50°F for two weeks. For spring harvest, transplant seedlings with 5-7 true leaves raised at 73-75°F during the day and over 53°F at night. Providing plants with adequate water and fertilizer after transplanting will promote faster growth. Used in sukiyaki, yosenabe, ohitashi, stir-fries, salad, and pickling (including kim chee).
