Plants are doing great!

This small powerhouse is one of my favorite Asian greens. I grow it ornamentally for its beautiful rosettes that I can pick daily from. Grew well in in spring up until the heat of July hot when it went to bloom and I enjoyed the flowers in salads. Fall I replanted and it’s almost January and my cute rosettes are still hanging on here in the freezing nights of late December. Had a less earthy and more mild flavor so wonderful in fresh or tossed in soups and stirfry.

Germination rates were great, about 90-95% germinated pretty much all at the same time too. It was really interesting to watch. Unfortunately, I did not water these well enough and they bolted like crazy. We ate the flowers in our salads!
I should have brought the pots in when it was above 80, but I did not. I forgot all about them. I will be planting these again next month.

My husband loves to walk by and grab a leaf or two and nibble on it when puttering around the yard 😀

These are the best greens I’ve ever eaten. They have a sweet and slight pepper taste. I would highly recommend!
