Bye, Bye Napa Cabbage

Today I took out the rest of our fall planted Napa Cabbage. They survived the long winter and were starting to show signs of new growth, but we are trying to get the building ready to replant and didn't want to leave any old crops to provide a hiding place for bugs, so out they came. All isn't lost, instead of 3.0-3.5 pound heads, they are these little, cute 1.25 pound heads. Great for a fresh winter salad.

We are planting more this weekend and hopefully we will start to harvest in April, May and June.



Napa cabbage is a sweet, crunchy cabbage. It also goes by the name Chinese Cabbage. Of all my winter garden crops, I am rating these a tie for number 1. The other one being carrots.

Napa Cabbage is very versatile. You can cook it, stew it, coleslaw it, salad it, stir-fry it, use it as a roll-up, or just eat it leaf by leaf ( my favorite).

We have several Napa Cabbages in the fridge, so hopefully we can make them last several more weeks.
