Salad Oriental SEED COLLECTION

This salad pack contains, in separate sachets:

Chinese Cabbage Wong Bok (500 seeds)- quick growing and tasty chinese greens;

Pak Choi (300 seeds)- very tasty and quick growing;

Red Giant Mustard (350 seeds)- Chinese Mustard with a mild tangy flavour and attractive red/green leaves;

Mizuna (350 seeds) - delicate flavour and crisp texture; Rosette Pak Choi - crisp texture and fresh flavour. Grow them together or in rows.

Recipe Tip: Coat mixed leaves with a little sesame oil and top with strips of duck breast glazed with plum sauce. Or stir-fry tiger prawns with grated stem ginger and lemon grass, then add mixed salad leaves for a few seconds until just wilted. Hardy annual.

When to plant: All year round except hottest months.
How to grow: Sow seeds directly where they will grow at all times of the year except if very hot or very cold. Make sowings every 2 or 3 weeks for a continuous supply. Sow seeds 5mm deep in rows 10mm apart with seed from each sachet mixed together, or sow as separate rows of individual varieties. Leaves are picked as required for 5-8mm (2-3in) high for baby leaf salads. Leave plants to continue cropping in 'cut-and-come-again' style and they will reshoot up to 4 cuts. Alternatively, some seed can be sown this way and some at traditional spacing to allow mature full-sized plants to develop. Salad vegetables like good growing conditions so keep them well-watered and apply liquid fertiliser every two weeks or so.
Harvest: As required and ready.
