Description

The Mizuna 'Kyoto' is a fast-growing variety of Asian cabbage. Its dark green leaves are highly serrated and their petioles are white. Rich in vitamins A and C, and calcium, this leafy vegetable is consumed raw in salads or cooked like spinach or stir-fried. Sow from March to September for harvests from April to October.

Japanese cabbages, or mustards, are vegetable plants that belong, like their European counterparts, to the large family of Brassicaceae and are named after the Brassica species. These cabbages, which were once only found in specialised shops a few years ago, are gradually gaining ground on our shelves and in our vegetable gardens, much to the delight of Asian cuisine enthusiasts. They are biennial plants grown as annuals that are full of qualities, both in terms of taste and nutrition. From a dietary point of view, they are remarkable: low in calories, they are very rich in vitamins C, A, potassium, and calcium. In cooking, these cabbages can be consumed raw or quickly stir-fried in a wok.

Harvest: it is harvested as needed. If the plant is well established, cutting all the leaves at the collar level allows for regrowth.

Storage: it can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days.


Gardener's tip: To limit watering, we recommend that when the plants are well developed, you mulch the soil with thin successive layers of grass clippings, if possible mixed with dead leaves. This protection, which keeps the soil moist, also reduces weed growth.

Untreated or "NT" seeds come from conventionally grown plants (often with the use of pesticides), but they undergo no treatment after harvest. These seeds are allowed in organic market gardening when organic seeds are out of stock.

Planting and care

Sowing:

Sowing period: in open ground from March to September

Harvest period: from April to October

You can either sow directly in place or prepare young plants that will later be transplanted to their final location in the garden.

Preparing young plants: In a greenhouse or nursery in the garden throughout the year (depending on the recommended sowing period), sow the seeds at a depth of 1 to 2 cm (0 to 1in) in good seed compost or fine soil. Lightly cover with compost and remember to keep the substrate moist but not waterlogged.

When the young plants appear strong enough to handle, transplant them into pots if necessary before planting them in the garden, when there is no longer any risk of frost. During planting, respect the recommended spacing for direct sowing.

Direct sowing: In well-amended and finely worked soil, make furrows about one or two centimeters deep, spaced 20 centimeters (8 inches) apart. Sow the seeds and cover them with a thin layer of fine soil. When the seedlings are well developed, thin them out, leaving one plant every 20 centimetres (8 inches).

Cultivation:

Mustards grow in full sun. It is a demanding vegetable that requires well-rotted, nitrogen-rich and potassium-rich soil. It is advisable to apply a generous amount of mature compost (about 3/4 kg per m2) in autumn, by hoeing to a depth of 5 cm (2in), after loosening the soil as you would for any vegetable crop. It is not very tolerant of soil pH, which should be between 5.6 and 6.5. In acidic soil, it is necessary to gradually raise the pH by adding calcium in the form of Dolomite or Lime.

Beware of pests such as Cabbage White butterflies or Flea Beetles and consider installing insect netting.
