How to Grow Chinese Vegetables
Chinese vegetables were a rare commodity in the U.S., just a few years ago.
They were hard to find in grocery stores, and even rarer still in the home
garden. Chinese and other cultural foods have gained in popularity. Home
gardeners have responded by growing them in their back yards. And, grocery
stores stock an ever increasing variety to meet the rising demand.
Varieties:
There is a wide variety of Chinese vegetables to choose from. They include:
-
Chinese Cabbage - Bok Choy and Pak Choi
-
Corn- cute, miniature corn ears found in many Chinese dishes.
-
Baby carrots
-
Baby Eggplant
-
Chinese Pea Pods- flat edible pea pods with tiny immature peas inside
-
Chinese Parsley.
-
And a whole lot more!
Growing instructions vary, depending upon the type of vegetable you are growing.
Many varieties of Chinese vegetables are "baby" types. They are grown similar
to their larger cousins in terms of fertilizers, soil conditions, and insect
and disease control. There are also differences in growing techniques, due
to their smaller size. Make sure to read the instructions on the package
when buying the seed for special care instructions.
A wide range of seed companies now include Chinese varieties of vegetables
in their seed offerings.
