Asian Greens(Bok Choy,Tatsoi)

Description

 

Asian Greens require as little as 2 hours of sun per day. They enjoy bright shade with ambient light

Most Asian greens are brassicas that often bolt, or flower, as days lengthen earlier on in the season. Sowing them from the second half of summer avoids this problem, and there are fewer pests such as flea beetle about too.

If sowing earlier in the year, be prepared to pick the leaves very often to slow bolting, when plants push up flower stems and leaf production ceases. Plants grown in part-shaded locations are often slower to bolt,
