Some Growing Tips: - prepare garden bed with well drained fertile soil with lots of organic matters; turn/till the soil at least 4" deep - ideal sowing time is from mid spring to mid summer (in Chicago zone 5B, it would be mid May to mid August) - prefer full sun, or partial shade in hot summer / scorching heat areas. - sow the seeds directly into your garden plot (broadcast or rows 4" apart), - evenly spread the seeds over 30-50 sqft area, then cover the seeds with 1/4" fine soil. - keep the soil moist (but not soggy) for about a week and the seeds will germinate quickly when daytime temperature is above 70F. - for green thumbs, you can cover the soil surface with clear poly for 2-4 days, as the poly will retain heat & moisture, hence speed up the germination dramatically. - to extend your veggie harvest, consider sow just half the seeds initially, then sow the other half couple weeks later. - yu choi can be harvested within just 30-35 days, tender flower stem (aka sum/xin) are edible. - amaranth can be harvested by cutting the stem right above the first "branch", new shoots will emerge, second harvest possible in another 2-3 weeks - like amaranth, gai lan can also be harvested by cutting off main stem above the first branch, new shoots will emerge for subsequent harvest. - if too crowded after 3rd week, do thin out the crowded areas and enjoy them as baby greens - if worms & insects are feasting on the greens, try spray neem oil mix once a week, avoid using chemical pesticides - the harvest sequence is roughly Yu Choi, Amaranth, Canton Pak Choi, Shanghai Pak Choi, and lastly Gailan - consider three lazy-boy crops for a small veggie bed: spring mix, summer mix and autumn mix
