It is easy to grow and grows fast.
Pak Choi Taisai is a vigorous growing variety and forms loose rosettes woth broad, round, fleshy leaves and thick broad stalks. This variety does well in colder conditions and is highly suited to spring sowing. It is perfect for steaming, but also for stir fried vegetable dishes, casseroles or raw as a salad.
Sowing & cultivation: Pak Choi can be cultivated during the whole year, mostly it is sown in spring or autumn. Pak Choi grows best in a sunny position in a fertile soil. Sow thinly, direct into finely raked, moist, weed free soil 6mm deep in rows 30cm apart. Thin the resulting seedlings, leaving the strongest to a final spacing of 20cm apart. Water regularly and provide a weak liquid feed once a week. They are snail magnets, so plants need protection in the open garden. Plants reach a stage for `baby leaf` harvest in 28 days and mature plants take around 50 days.
