Growing Instructions

• When to Plant: Direct sow in spring for an early crop, or in late summer for fall harvest. It prefers cool weather at 50-70°F (10-21°C).
• Soil: Rich, well-draining soil amended with compost.
• Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade; afternoon shade in warm weather helps delay bolting.
• Watering: Water regularly to keep soil consistently moist.
• Spacing: Sow 1/4 inch deep and thin to 6-12 inches apart.
• Germination: Germination takes 8-12 days at 45-80°F (7-27°C).
• Harvest: Pick baby leaves from about 25 days after sowing, or harvest whole rosettes at 45-50 days. Tatsoi tolerates cold down to about 15°F (-10°C) and can be harvested from under light snow.
• Tips: Cut individual outer leaves for a cut-and-come-again harvest. Keep the bed evenly moist and watch for flea beetles on young seedlings.
