The interest in what we have classed liberally as "Oriental Vegetables" increases every year. Plant spacings can vary tremendously according to what is required, for instance, White Celery Mustard (similar to Pak Choi) can be grown close together and picked whole as small plants, grow further apart for larger plants, and even further apart to use as "cut and come again" vegetables.
Our range of oriental seeds includes Chinese cabbage, pak choi, Japanese spinach, Indian Mustard and even a variety of oriental fruit - Cape Gooseberries. We hope that you will be tempted to give some of these a try in your garden or allotment!
Chinese Cabbage Wong Bok
Wong Bok Chinese Cabbage produces large barrel shaped heads with crisp light green leaves. It is a hardy perennial and it can be grown by broadcasting in small blocks and harvesting individual leaves as and when they are required. Chinese cabbage has a more subtle and pleasant flavour than many of the European varieties and tends to have a delicious crispness much like you would expect from a lettuce. It can therefore be eaten raw or steamed or stir fried.
