Chinese cabbage 'Hilton'

400 seeds

Sow seeds directly in well-draining, fertile soil in a sunny or partially shaded spot. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and space them 6-8 inches apart. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, watering regularly, especially during dry periods. Chinese cabbage prefers cooler temperatures, ideally between 55°F and 75°F (13°C - 24°C). Thin seedlings to 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper growth. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer or compost to support healthy development. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and control weeds. Watch for pests like aphids and slugs, and take action as needed. Harvest when the heads are firm and fully formed, typically 60-80 days after sowing.
