PURPLE PAK CHOI (F1 hybrid 47 days)

Germ 7-12 days
A favorite in our trials, mostly because the very deep shade of purple really stands out, and it tastes very good. Distinctive purple leaves are carried on light green stems and the flavor is mild. 40 seeds

PLANTING:

Indoors- 4-6 weeks before last frost and 1/4” deep with soil temperature at 65-75 degrees. Liquid fertilize seedlings every 7-10 days. Transplant out just before last frost.

Outdoors – Early spring until mid summer for fall crops. Plant 1/2” deep, 12-15” apart for small headed varieties and 20-30” for large headed varieties

Harvest- If the heads feel solid by pushing on them lightly they are ready to harvest. Harvest as soon as possible for early varieties to prevent splitting. Later maturing varieties will hold longer.

Tips- Mulch, provide fertilizer, and adequate moisture for optimum growth.
