Chinese Cabbage

« on: July 12, 2012, 10:31 »

Has anybody ever grown these? I tried last year but instead of getting them tall and compact as in the supermarket, the leaves spread out horizontally. I have some ready to plant out now and wondered what I am supposed to do to get them growing vertically. Am I supposed to tie them up?

Try tying a length of string around the plant as it grows to hold the leaves together. As it grows cut the string and use a large length. That should give you a more compact plant

or use a rubber band - make sure it is not too tight
