OLD GARDENER SAYS.... 
Even though most folks have trouble grow- 
ing it, Chinese Cabbage is a crop worth 
considering. It’s a triple-treat vegetable. 
Eat it fresh as a salad, cook it as greens or 
use it raw as a relish. And it’s one salad 
crop you can store for winter use, to take 
the place of perishable lettuce. 
The trick in growing it is timing. Don’t 
seed it before July Ist. If you plant it too 
early, there is some mechanism inside the 
plant that forces it to produce flowers and 
go to seed instead of heading up. But if 
you wait until after July Ist, it will form a 
firm, tight head instead. 
Another difficulty is that plant lice or 
aphids love this plant, as do certain chew- 
ing insects. Getting at these pests in the 
folded leaves is a hard problem. The trick 
is to go down the row with a light dust of 
rotenone (which, by the way, kills both 
sucking and chewing insects) . .. not 
enough to kill but just enough to force the 
pests out on top for air. Then go down 
the row again five minutes later with a 
heavy dust or spray and you'll get 99% 
of them.
