A Brassica to Enjoy in the Farmers Market Garden

7/3/2018

Fun fact:  According to Wikipedia ten of the most common cruciferous vegetables eaten by people are in the Brassica species.  These vegetables are one of the dominant food crops worldwide.  Commonly called cole crops in North America these foods are high in vitamin C and soluble fiber – in other words—very good for you.   
 
This family includes cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts, bok choy, and similar leaf vegetables.   This post will focus on one that is especially suited to the north:  Bok Choy.  A cultivar of Brassica rapa chinensis (Pak Choi BOPAK F1) is now featured in the Teaching and Display Garden in an All-American Selection (#AASWinners) bed of Welcome to the Farmers Market Garden. 

                        This is the first in a series of blog posts featuring the All American Selections Display Gardens.
