Asian greens are really fast. Most of their harvests are in spring. Harvests of these usually start in May. Broccoli is usually late June. I plant in early April typically.

I think the earliest I've ever had any was early August but then I don't really know what I'm doing with brassicas. :)Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354350096358468967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-13820459812177340472014-09-15T17:46:48.475-04:002014-09-15T17:46:48.475-04:00Very impressed with the carrots!

I won't grow it again because it is really prone to the rust in my garden. The Golden Gate pole bean resists it much better and rust is a major bean disease here. If not for that it would be a great bean. It is very prolific and tasty at least until it gets taken down.
