Very good video. By far the best and most knowledgable. Also love your garden!

I just discovered you! I love your videos.

EXCELLENT video! What's the best temperature range for growing bok choy?

[gloriashaftoe]

This is super helpful! Thank you! We're going to try again this year with bottom up watering because our humidity is so low compared to Florida. Fingers crossed that fixes our watering problems from the last couple years

I’m wanting to grow Bok Choi sprouts. (Soak, rinse, drain in a mason jar.) Guessing a few weeks.
Not many seeds in a single packet for testing, but before I try or purchase a few ounces, do you have experience with which variety might be most successful? Thanks!

lol, funny episode! I found you while looking up bok choy... and I thought hey I know her? Don't I? So I clicked on this video and yup, I recognize you from vegan sausages and lots of other great videos! My bok choy may not make it, cause its already to hot and not enough shade. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks for all the tips.

Wow, super easy to follow. Question, first timer here. What kind of soil can I use from Home Depot? And ill be planting in planter boxes. Thank you!

Hello City Steading Plant Life! I bought bok choy (shang hai) from the grocery store. I have been cutting them at the base, and soaking the base in water until it gets some roots. After about 10 days or so, I put them in organic soil (miracle gro), and gave them a water; and placed them outside in the sun. Texas here; 90 degrees about; pretty good humidity as well. They def had full sun, but within 24 hours; they are all dead LOL!! Wilted leaves; etc... do you have any tips or know what could have happened... did they overheat?. The soil is still moist. I came across your video because maybe I should start from seed instead of doing it from the grocery store. Appreciate your video as well!

Hey there. In the southern hemisphere at 6000ft we have a 15-20°C daily temperature variation between sunrise and early afternoon during winter.
So it seems bolting is unavoidable.
In summer, the daily temp variation is seldom over 10°C, so do you think it might be possible to grow them in summer without them bolting?

[janicealderson]

Are you planting them in the Spring? Where i am in France it is getting hotter by the day so there is a fluctuation. I paid for a packet and only got 20 seeds in the EU where it can be such a ripoff - that's why it is so difficult to choose when to plant! Thanks.

Hello! Please tell me, are the seedlings I'm seeing at the 2:34 mark pak choi seedlings? I've only grown baby bok choy varieties in the past, and this season I'm growing some pak choi white stem seedlings, but so far they're about that size, & they look far more like mustard greens than pak choi to me.

I love Bok Choy. All varieties and they cook up so easy and flavorful.
Stir fry and soups are my favs but even washed and used as salad is good. Blanching (like Mustard or Turnip Greens) will also help reduce any bitterness (I never found any but YMMV) So, great crop for your area. Peanuts do well also. Peanuts and Bok Choy with a simple Asian sauce makes for a wonderful meal. Add Fish and Rice and make it a banquet.
I have to buy my B-C because it is very hard to grow here above the 5000 foot level. Frost and length of grow time biggest enemy.
My Ginger plants have survived indoors so far and we only have about another month before we are free of the last frost (cross your fingers)
Then they will get transplanted to a larger pot and stuck outside.
How about Ginger Dressing and Bok Choy salad? Dang, now I am

Can a full plant be replanted to grow more?
