Tatsoi Asian Greens

Seed Count: Approx. 200 seeds Days to Maturity: 55 Days Description:  A distinctly different type of Asian green, Tatsoi is a small, spoon-shaped green that delivers a unique flavor experience. A stocky plant similar to bok choy, Tatsoi is native to China, where it is believed to have been cultivated since 500 AD. This unique, low growing green made its way to Japan during the early Showa period (1312-1317) where the signature mellow, almost creamy, flavor was refined. It's a dependable source of vitamins in cool winter months, but also a very heat tolerant plant. Plant close together for smaller greens, or space further apart to get that beautiful rosette.   How To Grow Sowing:  Since brassicas thrive in cool weather and sweetens with frost, it grows best as a fall crop, however Tatsoi is also a very heat tolerant green. Plant 3 seeds in a cluster, 1/2" deep and 16-18" apart in rows 2-3' apart about 3 months before your first expected frost. For a fall crop, direct sow in July.  Chin
