Nozaki Chinese Cabbage Seeds (Organic)

Nozaki Chinese Cabbage is a quick-heading fall variety with small heads, frilled outer leaves, and a crisp texture suited to kimchi and other fresh or fermented preparations. The current product record identifies this as certified organic seed. Its compact head form and decorative outer foliage give it a distinct presence in the cool-season vegetable garden, while the leaves offer a practical ingredient for cooks who want to preserve part of a fall cabbage harvest. Plan the crop around your local autumn conditions rather than treating it like a warm-season cabbage.

Sowing & Growing

• Crop timing: Schedule sowing for a fall harvest in your local climate
• Site: Use a prepared vegetable bed with consistent access to moisture
• Spacing: Thin or transplant seedlings so individual heads have room to form
• Harvest stage: Cut heads when they reach the size and firmness you prefer
• Record keeping: Note sowing and harvest dates to refine timing for future seasons

Because the current record does not provide a product-specific soil-temperature range, planting depth, germination window, or days-to-maturity figure, those values are not supplied here. Use the packet instructions as the product-specific starting point, then adjust timing for local fall temperatures. Keep the seedbed from drying during establishment, thin crowded seedlings, and check developing heads as weather changes. Harvest cleanly at the base and move cut cabbage promptly to the kitchen or planned preservation process.

This variety is associated with independent seed work by Steve Peters through Seed Revolution Now and with the preservation of food and seed traditions described in the product’s earlier record.
