Harvesting Chinese Broccoli
Direct seed and thin to 4 to 15 inches apart in the row and nine inches
to two feet between rows, depending on the size of plant desired. The
stem is harvested just as the flowers emerge. Like European broccoli,
Chinese broccoli can be harvested multiple times. When the main shoot is
harvested the first time, auxiliary shoots grow, which can be harvested
two more times. Shoots will be smaller each time. Large-scale production
will harvest once and use multiple plantings for constant supply.
