Wow! I had no idea there were so many additional choices. I have to try some of these. They would do well here in the fall winter season too. Look so yummy! Thanks again for sharing this information.

I wosh I could find some of these vegetables in the store so I could give them a try. I like stir-fry a lot. Thanks for an interesting article.

Dutchlady, that is why I grow them! I can find them at one store - but we don't shop there often and in general, they are not organic (or even "all natural".) And I certainly can not find them fresh in the winter as farmers here don't tend to farm them in the winter.

Eat well,
Glynis,

Good article!

Know you only had so much space so may I also suggest winter radishes? Green meat and Red or Rose heart (Hybrid: Mantanghong) are worth a look. And for kim chee, the Korean white winter radishes of course.

For a book on the subject, Joy Larkcom's "Oriental Vegetables: The Complete Guide for the Gardening Cook" is one of the best.

Excellent article, and thanks for the sources for seeds. I have loved Oriental vegies and stir-frys for years, but also have limited accessibility here, except for our farmers markets. I have grown some, but have had limited supply to seeds. This is wonderful, I'm already thinking about this year's crop, to expand out my chinese cabbage, and baby pak choi.
