Description
Glossy, forest green, spoon-shaped leaves with thick stems. Tatsoi can be densely planted for salad mixes or thinned to 4” for full rosettes. Mild baby leaves are typically used in salads, but tatsoi can also be grown larger for stir-fries. We get multiple harvests from full sized plants, just like other cut and come again greens. This nutrient-packed green is a staple in many asian cuisines.
Days to Maturity: 20 to baby, 45 to full size
Latin name: Brassica rapa
Life cycle for seed saving: Annual
Planting Instructions:
Direct seed as soon as soil can be worked or start indoors 2 weeks before transplant. Seeding depth: ¼”. Full-sized plants: transplant 8-12” apart with 12-24” between rows. Baby leaf: direct seed 4 seeds/inch with 5” between rows.
All of our seed is Non-GMO and Certified Organic by Washington State Department of Agriculture. We grow the majority of our varieties here at Deep Harvest Farm on Whidbey Island while we purchase the rest from other small, organic Northwest seed growers. Finally, all of our offerings are open-pollinated (OP) so that you too can save and share seed from these plants!
