'Fun Jen' , 'Green Rocket' and 'Chirimen Hakusai'? Or do you also like Bok Choy? Just let me know your address and picks by Tree-Mail. I have more of some than others, so if they all look equally good, I can sned what I have the most of. Hmmm ... NE Texas ... maybe heat-tolerant and 'early' varieties? They are "cool season Brassicas" and no one ever called Texas summers cool!
If I'm getting low on something, I'll let you know.
For any ATP Moderator, it would be a pleasure to send a half-dozen or so. Check my "Asian Trade List" and "Bok Choy Trade List" by clicking in my signature block, then following the link to "Bok Choy".
I always buy a "bargain size" pkt that I can split up 8, 12 or 16 ways. Usually a 1/8th tsp or 1/16th tsp sample is over 100 seeds, which seems enough to do a taste-test. If someone starts seedlings indoors and then transplants out, they could plant a 50-foot row.
I just like to share these greens that are such staples in Asia, but seem exotic over here. Buying a whole seed pkt somewhere for $2 plus $5 shipping is a deterrent if someone has no idea if their family would even eat it, but I like the idea of sending out samplers of little sample-size pinches.
I like the fact that these are edible (perhaps best) when very young. Even if you plant them at the "wrong" time in your climate, you can eat the baby leaves before they bolt. And they are pretty when they flower!
It seems to me that if something works in salads, soups OR sauteed (or as sprouts or micro-greens) it ought to fit easily into anyone's cuisine! Maybe not spicy mustards! That requires a brave palate I lack ... or boiling to calm them down.
Have I ranted and raved recently about how cool Tainong Seeds and Kitazawa seeds are? Tainong sells 2 gram pkts for $2, and they consider those "the small pkts".
