“Also eating and blanching and freezing baby bok choy.”

I always forget to plant that! Can I do a fall crop here in Zone 4/5? When should I start the plants ahead of time? Can they take any frost?

It would be a lovely alternative for soups and casseroles versus the KALE I usually have coming out of my ears each year, LOL!

I would say yes,I could do 3 crops of the baby bok choi each year. West Michigan. It grows fast. This is the variety - it is not the regular bok choi picked early. It’s an Asian variety. I just spent a half hour looking for my new gardening book where I taped the empty seed packet to reorder and I must have put it someplace good because I can’t find it. Pretty sure it was a baker seed. Although I went to their website and could not find it exactly. It does not grow a big fat stalky bulb but slim stalks with branches growing up like tree branches. The stalks are very tender. The word baby is in the name and it is definitely an Asian variety. If I every find that new gardening book I’ll write you. ((SIGH))
