Description: Planting Instructions: Timing: Plant the seeds in early spring or late summer. Chinese Baby Napa Cabbage prefers cooler temperatures, ideally between 55°F and 75°F (13°C and 24°C). Soil Preparation:Choose a sunny spot with at least 6 hours of sunlight per day.Prepare the soil by digging to a depth of about 12 inches (30 cm) to loosen it. Remove any stones or debris.Mix in a generous amount of compost or well-rotted manure to enrich the soil. Sowing the Seeds:Sow the seeds directly into the soil about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) deep.Space the seeds about 6 inches (15 cm) apart in rows, with about 18 inches (45 cm) between each row.Cover the seeds lightly with soil and water gently. Watering:Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water gently to avoid washing away the seeds.A mulch layer can help retain soil moisture and control weeds. Thinning:When seedlings are about 3 inches (7.5 cm) tall, thin them to about 12 inches (30 cm) apart. This gives each plant enough space to grow. Feeding:If growth seems slow, you can apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer to promote leafy growth. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application rates. Pest Management:Watch for pests like aphids and caterpillars. You can remove pests by hand or use an appropriate organic insecticide.Regularly check for signs of disease, such as wilted leaves or black spots. Harvesting:Baby Napa Cabbage is ready to harvest when the heads feel firm and are well-formed, usually about 70 days after planting.Cut the head at the base with a sharp knife.Tips:Rotate your crops each year to help prevent soil-borne diseases.Covering the crop with a floating row cover can protect it from pests and extreme temperatures.Keeping the area free of weeds will minimize competition for nutrients and reduce the risk of disease.
