Good addition to the spring garden

by

Started under grow lights here in zone 5/6, transplanted out in early/mid April and it has done quite well doubling in size. Prolific, and have been able to harvest multiple times. Great for steaming or in a stir fry. Does well in part sun/shade.

Easy to grow green, even in humid NW FL

by

I planted some tatsoi seeds around March thinking they wouldn't make it past the baby greens as it'd be too hot.

I'm surprised as they're still growing quite well now (end of May in NW FL). I was afraid they'd get bitter (like lettuce does) by the time that the temps heated up but that hasn't happened. They're still going strong! They're really tasty and versatile.

Last note - they were getting eaten by some small black bugs, but a couple applications of neem+soap spray easily stopped that.

Stir fry

by

I love them. Easy to grow. Responds well to organic gardening. Great for indoor gardens under lights. Good flavor for stir fry. I would recommend.

Fast, Easy, and Yummy

Wish we planted more Tatsoi this year. Grows more like a lawn than a leafy green. Everyone agrees they are great sautéed but we ate plenty raw as a salad green. Slightly pepper when raw which we really like. Great as a spinach substitute and seems to attract less insects. Recommend not thinning and just scattering seeds in a planter or raised bed and letting it go. Harvest young like mowing a lawn and let it keep growing. Goes to seed relatively quickly in temps approaching 80 if not harvested. Definitely a new addition to our greens raised bed and we will be growing more in the winter. (zone 10a/b)

good stir fry green

What began as small rosettes in my arid West Texas garden became large, multi-branched very productive greens. Made it through the winter (mostly frosts with a few hard freezes) just fine with minimal protection. Better when tender.
