| 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. |

| Bekana is even better in the Fall. And gai-lan is so much earlier than broccoli. |

| glib, have you found Gai land to be bitter? Current discussion on the cooking forum says it's a bitter Asian green, and the posters seem knowledgeable. Mine has never been bitter-not in the previous three years and so far, not this year. |
