Asian Vegetable Seeds

Asian vegetable seeds can be found in most Asian supermarkets. Some packets have English text, but for others you’d better brush up your Mandarin and Japanese. Plant some seeds in spring and again in autumn to find out which season they prefer. Experiment using the pictures on the packets. Marrows, squash and beans are mostly summer vegetables, but many leafy greens like cooler seasons.

Asian vegetables still have good resistance against British pests and diseases, with the exception of the greenish-white Chinese cabbage, which gets attacked by snails, slugs, cabbage moth and aphids to the point where you don’t want to deal with it in the kitchen. Most Asian vegetables presently available are the products of 40 centuries of companion-growing horticulture, mostly in China, and the Chinese were too hungry and too practical to waste time on vegetables that could not survive prevailing conditions.
