“70 Days Improved” Mid-season Choy Sum

This variety from China is chosen for its darker green leaves and flowering shoots that are great cooked or raw. The whole plant is edible – harvest flower shoots and leaves all in a bunch when it starts to flower – as pictured. Delicious, like broccoli, one of Ben’s favourites! 

This variety has been selected for being bolt-resistant ,and is also a bit more cold tolerant. Normally sow in late summer, but very early in spring under cover works well too.

Ready about 70 days or so after sowing.
