An unusual all year round veg that is becoming ever more popular with its use in oriental stir-fries and salads, it has a mild cabbage flavour. Pak Choi 'Rubi' F1 is a purple/red leaved variety with bright green stems, it looks as attractive in the garden as on a plate as a babyleaf veg or as whole head shredded leaves in stir-fries. It is great for overwintering as well as for maincrop sowing.
It is very quick to crop (3-6 weeks), easy to grow and slow to bolt – a little star. It can be treated as a 'cut and come again' crop i.e. harvesting a few leaves at a time or the whole head can be lifted entirely or cut 2.5cm above ground level and left to re-sprout.
Approx 150 seeds per pack.

How:
|
Sow seed thinly 1.5cm deep in rows 30-40cms apart. The wider distance is used for semi-mature to whole head production, the closer distance is suitable for 'cut & come again'/baby leaf production. Autumn sown ones should be sown in greenhouses / polytunnels either in the soil/containers or even grow bags and kept protected in cold spells.

Care:
|
Thin row to 7.5-10cm for baby leaf, 20cm for semi-mature & 25cm for whole heads. To help prevent bolting pick leaves regularly, water well and keep weed free. Thinnings can be eaten.

| Harvest: |
3-6 weeks as cut & come again/babyleaf or 6-8 weeks for whole head production. |
