All Year Round Greens Seed Collection

S: All year

These tasty varieties will give great new winter greens and are perfect for steaming to accompany all of our traditional winter meals. They should have
a minimal cooking time to preserve the plant structure they will turn mushy if
cooked too long (just like spinach). Great versatility too as young leaves are great in salads or larger ones in stir fries. Sow all year round but for autumn and winter sowings they need to be sown in cell trays on the windowsill from
October and planted out into the greenhouse, tunnel or cloche once
established. They will then grow away slowly for mid-winter and early ‘spring’
greens. Outdoor sowings can be made from March to September and maturity times speed up with the rising temperature.

Including:-
Sprouting Chinese Cabbage Eats, Shoots & Leaves F1
Think Chinese version of purple sprouting, and you have a large plant, quick to grow, which will produce a multitude of thin flower stalks. Cut these in bud stage and the taste is fantastic very sweet! Eat raw or lightly
steamed. Young leaves can also be eaten like spinach. Harvest regularly, if allowed to flower it will stop producing more shoots.

Tatsoi, Emperor's Savoy
A flattened looking pak choi which is remarkably cold-tolerant and produces green/white stems. A mild flavour and a perfect steamed, or stir fried, tasty winter veg! Emperor’s Savoy has a tendency to bolt when it is too hot and thus it is a great choice for cooler autumn sowings.

Japanese Spinach, Hohei F1
This hybrid komatsuna is perfect for following the tomatoes in the cool greenhouse. Perfect as a ‘spinach or steamed cabbage type greens’ at maturity, the rounded leaves are an attractive medium-dark green. (baby leaves are also great raw in salads). Good upright growth (Hohei means soldier and it was so named due to the erect plant and ability to work).

Mizuna, Waido
Very fast growing and cold tolerant, this erect plant has pale stems and a mild flavour. Fine raw in salads but great as steamed veg or in stir fries. In winter it is perfect for baby leaf or teen leaf growing and some regrowth will
occur after cutting so it has a "cut and come again"characteristic.

Pak Choi, Yuushou F1.
Great for cool weather growing, Yuushou is a green stemmed variety with robust and heavy heads. The leaves are great in salads or steamed as a winter vegetable as an alternative to other brassicas.
