  • Chinese Cabbage

    Anyone have experience of successfully growing Chinese cabbage?
    I sowed some in trays at the beginning of June, and planted them out a week ago. They looked like nice, healthy plants and I was happy with how they were doing.
    I inspected them today, and most are already bolting, despite me having kept them well watered.

    I've sown another modular tray of them, and I'm hoping they only bolted because it was too hot or the days were too long (so a later crop should do better), or else because I left them in the tray too long (some of them were a little pot-bound when I planted them out).
    Any tips would be appreciated.

    My rule of thumb is - sow all Asian vegetables after the longest day - otherwise they bolt.

      I agree.Just been looking at sowing Mooli and Florence Fennel probably this week or next.

        I grew them last year and they were doing fine until the caterpillars started on them. Once that happened, any hearting up would include caterpillar poo. Didn’t grow them this year.
