Plant again in late summer for harvesting in the fall. If the plants experience late spring frosts or more than a week of nights below 50°F, they are likely to bolt (produce a flowering stalk and stop growing) once warm weather returns. Because Chinese Cabbages are heavy feeders, apply a balanced fertilizer and maintain nutrient-rich soil. Oats can be used as a companion plant to prevent clubroot and other soil-borne diseases, increase growth, and attract beneficial insects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Chinese Cabbage\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest when the heads reach the size you want. In the fall, cut heads high, leaving the plant's base intact. Small heads will often regrow from the stub. During the fall season Chinese Cabbages can tolerate a light frost, but be sure to harvest all cabbage heads before a hard freeze (28°F).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCulinary Tips\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNapa cabbage can be eaten raw in salads. It has high water content and takes on a sweet and juicy flavor when cooked, picking up other flavors from the food it's cooked with. Since it softens as well, it's frequently used with meats in stir-fries and soups during the last stages of cooking. Preserve by drying or pickling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eArticles on Chinese Cabbage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.trueleafmarket.com\/blogs\/articles\/chinese-cabbage-vs-chinese-broccoli-chinese-kale\"\u003e\"Chinese Cabbage vs Chinese Broccoli (Chinese Kale)\"\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeeds Per Package\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"bulleted\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 g packet - Approximately 100 Seeds‬\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!--split--\u003e","brand":"Kitazawa Seed Company","offers":[{"title":"1g Packet","offer_id":50290362319085,"sku":"58285","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/6048\/0493\/files\/TLCN-59958-Cabbage_Chinese_-_Blues_Hybrid_c8cd0627-f2a0-42a1-82dc-f4842408e8fc.webp?v=1784158946","url":"https:\/\/tlmwholesale.com\/products\/cabbage-seeds-blues-hybrid-kz","provider":"True Leaf Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
