Permaculture Growers Co-op: Small Farms Feeding Bloomington

I have many varieties of lettuce largely grown from seed that succeeded last year.

Chinese cabbage has been cultivated for over six thousand years in China. Brassica rapa seeds have been found in jars in the excavated New Stone Age settlement of Banpo. They were a common part of the diet in southern China by the 5th century. The Ming Dynasty pharmacologist Li Shizhen studied the Chinese cabbage for its medicinal qualities. Before this time the Chinese cabbage was largely confined to the Yangtze River Delta region. The Chinese cabbage as it is known today is very similar to a variant bred in Zhejiang around the 14th century. During the following centuries, it became popular in northern China and the northern harvest soon exceeded the southern one. Northern cabbages were exported along the Grand Canal to Zhejiang and as far south as Guangdong. They were introduced to Korea, where it became the staple vegetable for making kimchi. In the early 20th century, it was taken to Japan by returning soldiers who had fought in China during the Russo-Japanese War. At present, the Chinese cabbage is quite commonly found in markets throughout the world.

Commonly used both as a graceful bedding plant that 'floats' in the flower beds and as a sweet, mild mustard green that is ready to harvest in 3 weeks and will withstand heat longer than lettuce without bolting. The looks are deceptive: Beautiful, graceful, and prolific, but definitely tasty. Plants germinate under cold and wet spring conditions When to Sow Outside: Even though it's a cool-weather plant, seeds will germinate best if you wait until after the last frost to sow. Can also be planted in early fall.
