Peking Ta Ching Kao Asian Greens
42 days to harvest
Brassica rapa
HEIRLOOM If you like broccoli raab and wish it were easier to grow, you’ll love these scrumptious leaves as well as tender, succulent stems! Perfect for spring, fall & winter sowing, we love Peking Ta Ching Kao as young 16 to 24″ tall greens and stems. As they grow larger, we harvest full-size leaves to savor in all the many ways we enjoy kale, collards and chard. Preferring cooler temperatures, Peking Ta Ching Kao is a fabulous spring and fall crop; we also cover them with hoops and floating row cover to minimize flea beetle munchings.
