Growing Tips for Organic Michihili Chinese Cabbage Seeds:

1. Planting: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date, or sow directly outdoors in early spring or late summer. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and 12-18 inches apart in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart.
2. Soil: Prefers fertile, well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Incorporate organic matter like compost to improve soil structure and fertility.
3. Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, as Michihili cabbage requires regular watering to develop crisp, tender leaves. Water at the base to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to disease.
4. Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade (at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily) for optimal growth and head formation.
5. Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer or compost tea every 3-4 weeks to support healthy growth and enhance flavor.
6. Temperature: Best grown in cooler weather, ideally between 55-75°F. Protect from extreme heat, which can cause bolting.
7. Pest and Disease Management: Monitor for common pests like cabbage worms, aphids, and flea beetles. Use organic pest control methods, such as neem oil or diatomaceous earth, and employ row covers to protect young plants.
8. Harvesting: Harvest when heads are fully formed and firm, about 12-16 inches in length. Cut at the base with a sharp knife, leaving the roots and outer leaves to encourage regrowth.
