Kogane Golden/Green Napa Cabbage Heirloom Vegetable SeedsBrassica rapa var. Pekinensis Listing is for 1 packet of approximately 100 seeds Learn how to grow Napa cabbage from seed a ll the way to harvest with my YouTube video tutorial: https://youtu.be/bvZBdjPazeM This variety of Napa cabbage forms a tall and loose head. Leaves are light green with centers that get more golden yellow in color. Plant them 1 foot apart because they get very big. Plants form into a huge rosette shape with the head forming in the middle. You can harvest individual leaves or wait until the head is big enough for your liking to harvest the entire thing. Perfect for stir-fry's, adding into soups, or preserve by pickling or making kimchi. I recommend to start seeds in 72 cell seed trays but they also do well if direct sown. Seedlings are transplanted into the garden once the root system fills the whole cell. At planting time, I add a nice handful of blood meal in each planting hole. Blood meal is organic and high in nitrogen. The resulting leaves are lush and deep dark green in color. I also sprinkle some organic granular fertilizer about 1 month later after being transplanted to give them a boost to grow large heads. I have not experienced much pest issues if grown during the correct time of year which is fall thru spring. The only issue I have had was aphids start attacking them late in spring. I have found if I plant kale and nasturtiums all over my garden, the aphids will feast on them instead and leave my greens alone. So I use kale and nasturtiums as a trap crops. I have a Trap Crop seed collection if you want to grow more of the trap crops that I recommend and use in my garden.
