Planting & Care
Sow Tatsoi seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, or in late summer for a fall crop. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil evenly moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow for healthy growth. Tatsoi prefers consistent moisture and benefits from a layer of mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
For baby greens, harvest outer leaves when they are young and tender, or wait for full-sized rosettes. Tatsoi is relatively pest-resistant but can be susceptible to flea beetles; use row covers if necessary. Avoid letting plants dry out, as this can cause bolting and a bitter flavor.
