Love the Napa Cabbage, tasty and fast growing too!
Harvested my first WaWaTsai cabbage today and I am so impressed! It grew very well in zone 6b and the cabbage, after removing any bad leaves, weighed 3lbs!
Western Washington, Zone 8b. Very fast-growing, forming dense heads with mild flavor. Great for fall planting and overwintering in the garden.

• Fall crops can be sown July—mid-August
Transplanting
• For a spring crop, start 4-5 weeks before anticipated transplant date
• Fall crops can be started from June to mid-July and set out when there are 4-5 true leaves
