China Express

Brassica campestris subsp. pekinesis
This Chinese cabbage is often marketed as sui choi. These sweet, crisp greens arae ideal for salads and a mainstay of the stir-fry. Big, broad, barrel-shaped, and pale-green heads are tightly packed and 0.6-2.2kg (11/2-5lb) after trimming. This variety has good bolt resistance and excellent uniformity. For full-sized heads sow in summer with the last planting 10 weeks before frost. Established plants are vigorous and will stand in the garden until freezes get severe. However, seedlings will bolt if they are exposed to temperatures below 10ºC (50ºF) for more than 2 weeks; so protect early spring planting with cloches. Matures in 65-80 days. (hybrid seeds)

Growing Details

(MAC Safari users, please view growing details here)
Many of these crops can be harvested at 2 stages of life-as small, young plants (seedling crops) or as larger, mature plants. If growing the plant in the season that it bolts (goes to seed), harvest as soon as leaves are big enough to eat, and then plant another round. This way you will get very quick, tender harvests.
