sowing some quick Asian brassicas to add to your lettuces for salads. This year I sowed tatsoi, which I've grown several times before, and two I'd never heard of--Bekana and Mizpoona. All three make terrific additions to salads, deepening the flavor, and of course, they're great for stir fries.

Also, i quit growing broccoli several years ago and have been direct sowing Gailan (kailan) in its place. What a terrific vegetable! So easy to grow and tastes just like the best broccoli with the growth habit and harvesting technique of Broccoli raab, but without the mustardy bitterness.
