This variety will grow into a tall cylindrical shape with mild flavoured bright green leaves. Use in salads, steam lightly or put in a stir fry (boiling does not suit them). This is probably the best chinese cabbage to store: Green Rocket will keep well in a fridge for several weeks or a cool, frost-free place for 10-12 weeks but do check them regularly. Price for 20 seeds
SOW: from June to August: traditionally after the longest day. You can sow in modules and plant out when young – ideal if sowing successionaly – you can also sow the seeds directly in the soil.
GROW: Water a little and often as they are shallow rooted. They like a liquid feed, try seaweed or comfrey, but it isn’t essential. Cut from autumn to early winter from as little as 10 weeks from sowing
