Information

(Brassicarapa chinensis), Pac Choi is a vigorous beauty in white and dark-green with long, slender, chalk-white stems. It tastes of mild cabbage, so the name mustard is misleading. White celery should be sown in late summer, preferably, and tolerates several degrees of frost. A portion contains about 250 seeds.

Cultivation advice

Sowing

Sow the seeds successively from very early spring until late summer. Sow them thinly, about 1 cm deep directly in the land or in hotbeds and greenhouses for an extra early or late harvest. Seeds sown in mid-July usually yield the best harvest.

Spacing

Should be thinned out to a mutual distance of 25-35 cm. The thinned out plants are edible. Keep a distance of 35-50 cm between the rows, if you sow in rows.

Harvest

Start picking the leaves early. The plants grow quickly and harvest the more or less close-knitted heads as they are ready. Several cabbage sorts begin blooming in summer, so do not delay the harvest. They tolerate quite a lot of bitter cold and can be eaten fresh far into the late autumn. Use them raw, boiled, preserved, fried in salads, soups, gratins, and stews etc.

Seed

1 g contains 300-500 seeds. A portion is enough for sowing 3-6 metres. For linear sowing 10 g is required to sow 100 metres.
