Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special seed preparation is required for Purple Chinese Cabbage seeds.

Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date or direct sow seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in well-prepared soil, spaced 12-18 inches apart in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart.
Ensure the soil is kept consistently moist during the germination period.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Transplanting:

If starting seeds indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date when they have developed several true leaves.
Harden off seedlings for a week before transplanting by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, providing about 1 inch of water per week. Ensure the soil drains well to prevent waterlogging.
Weeding: Keep the area around the plants free from weeds, which can compete for nutrients and water.
Harvesting: Harvest Purple Chinese Cabbage when heads are firm and fully developed, usually 60-70 days after planting. Cut the heads at the base with a sharp knife.
