Choy Sum

I love Chinese greens and Choy Sum is really easy to grow and very similar to pak choi.

Sow July to August.  Sow into modules, 2 or 3 seeds per module or seed trays with compost. When large enough to handle prick out.

Transplant when seedlings are large enough (two sets of leaves) into 3 inch pots, bury the seedling up to its first leaves, water in and leave and grow on. Keep the compost moist but not wet.

Final planting – August to September. Plant into final position 15cm spacing. I grow these in winter undercover in the greenhouse.

Care – I like to remove the outer leaves when I need them, you don’t need to pull the whole plant up just keep removing the user leaves to eat and you will get a really long harvest this way.
