Description
Asia salads are a colorful group of fast-growing leafy greens with spicy‑sharp, often finely serrated or reddish‑tipped leaves. When young, they can be eaten raw as baby leaves in salads; older leaves can be quickly stir‑fried in a wok to add heat and color to the garden. They are available from early spring through late autumn.
Care instructions
Sow directly and densely in the garden, preferably in late summer (August, week 33), as they bolt quickly under prolonged heat. Keep the soil consistently moist to produce mild, tender leaves. Harvest continuously as a cut salad with scissors; the plants will regrow multiple times. In autumn, cover with a protective net to guard against earth mites and extend the harvest until frost.
