Tatsoi

• Growing Season: Year Round (in mild climates)
• First Harvest: You may start picking leafs as soon as there are at least 3 mature leaves (4-5" long), which takes about 3-4 weeks. Always keep at least 3 leaves on plant for vegetative growth to continue.
• Final Harvest: 8-12 weeks

Tatsoi grows best in zones 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, but may do well outside that range as well.

Most leafy greens like the cooler temperatures, but they can generally grow year-round. You want to be aware of the extreme temperature ranges in your region. Refer to the guidelines below:

COLD CLIMATES

• If you live in a location where the temperatures dip below freezing, hold off on growing until night temperatures are consistently in the 40's.
• On the occasional dips into the 30's, you can cover your seedlings with a sheet overnight.

WARM CLIMATES:

• If you regularly experience temperatures above 90 degrees for long periods of time, you may want to focus on herbs and heat-tolerant fruiting plants (tomatoes and peppers) during the heat intensive months.
• Once temperatures are consistently in the 80's, you can start growing leafy greens.

To find out what extreme temperatures your location experiences, check out the USDA zone for your region.

Keep soil consistently moist.
