Bok Choy Seed

Growing Bok Choy

Start indoors in early spring 4-6 weeks before last frost, sow 3-4 seeds in each pot, 5mm deep under a bright light. Seeds will germinate in 7-10 days. Thin down to the single strongest plant. Transplant in April at 45-60cm apart in row and 75-90cm apart for a fall harvest. Full sun, ideal soil pH of 6.0-6.8. Maintain even soil moisture, brassicas do best in cooler weather. Harvest the outer leaves "cut & come again" to let the centre continue to develop. Harvest the whole plant when it is between 12"-18" tall, before it begins to flower. Leaves should be crisp and dark green, with white or light green stalks.
