    Dear Hollis all you need to do is harvest the outer leaves and stems from your plants and they will continue to put out new stems and leaves from each plant center . When they "bolt" and put out seed heads, save the seeds for your fall/winter crop to be planted when the nearby trees begin dropping their leaves. You'll be able to harvest again until the outer leaves are ruined by cold weather. I love the stems too as a substitute for celery in salads. A new subscriber.

    My Asian wife uses bok choy in a soup after boiling a few beef shank along with quartered potatoes and green beans. The beef shank broth is so good with just the right amount of salt. She boils the white part first in two inch chunks and cuts up the green leafy into much smaller pieces and after adding the green she turns off the heat and wait for about 25 minutes while it simmers Yup good stuff.! Some times I may add a little fish sauce but only if I make the recipe. For some reason when the wife makes it there is no reason to add any thing else. I enjoy your channel. TY.

      My White wife will pick the outer row of stems, and leave the plant growing. Every time the outer row or 2 matures I pick them leaving the plant. I do this all summer long harvesting pak choi and the plant just keeps producing & very seldom ever bolts.

      @petersam4182 I know how it feels in my hand from doing it for 62 years. If you are a beginner, measure it out and put it in your hand to see how it feels. After a while you won’t need to measure any longer. You can gauge it by the feel

    One of the super healthy veggies you can grow& eat!!! Tastes like mild onion celery, but not as stringy as celery. It’s wonderful to cook, stir fry & eat raw for veggie plate w/dip or salad!👍😍

    I just discovered Bok Choy because I have digestive issues and bok choy is really good for your digestive system so I have been buying baby bok choy a from the store but it’s a little expensive so I wanted to look into growing it which I’ve never grown anything before , I can’t believe how huge his bok choy came out that’s bigger than the big bok choys at the store ! Great video I hope to try this out one day , thanks 🙏🏼

    I am praying to the soil God's to help me find a miracle. I live in Arizona and I love to garden but my husband is cheap and never gets me the things that I need to grow basically anything good. So I wonder alleys and hope that some one is throwing out yard clippings or shoot one time I found 2 half bags of soil. I guess it was their leftovers. Well. The point of this message is. That it is wonderful to see a married couple who love to garden and who supports Each other. Also baby bok choy is my favorite I use it in every Asian dish almost but I would love to grow it because in the grocery store it's $4 just for a little bit. Praise God for people like your two teaching people like me. Thank you

    This was the best video I’ve seen on growing Bok Choi!!! This is my first attempt at growing Pak Choi which as you know is the same as Bok Choy. When I planted my seeds, they germinated looking like micro greens. I was so confused I didn’t know what to do. I’ve looked at several videos, but your video is hands down the absolute best!!! I love the way you drew on paper how it grows and explained in excellent detail what happens as it grows. I’m praying I can save my crop, and get to enjoy my Pak Choi. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    I like how you show from start to transplant and all the progressions. So many videos say "How to grow" and all they show is putting seeds or transplants in a pot. YOUR video goes on to show what to look forward to. What the growing plant actually looks like. That is informative, helpful and refreshing. Thanks for taking the time to show the whole process. That is beautiful. My mouth was watering thinking of your soup.

    • @HollisNancysHomestead

  • @davidnewton3064
    @davidnewton3064 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Great suggestion on burying them deep with cotyledons at the soil level.
    I do have one suggestion for you. Open wounds placed directly in soil incur a greater chance that soil borne pathogens infect your plant. I would identify the leaves that will be removed about 10 days prior to transplant. Cut them off cleanly and let them callus. Just a little extra precaution.

    Good day Sir! Your Bok Choys are the biggest I've seen. Can you share a more detailed (in days if possible) timeline on how you grew those? Like from planting seeds to germination to transplanting and harvest.
    Also is it recommended to plant the seeds directly on the pot (one per pot) and expose it to full sun as it germinates (so I can skip the transplanting process)?

  • @TonySlug
    @TonySlug 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Nice ! Bok Choy is underrated. I love it. Fry some garlic, add the bok choy, a good splash of soy sauce, few tablespoons oyster sauce, sprinkle some diced hot pepper over it, takes 3 minutes of wokking to prep and it's actually much tastier than it sounds on paper. You can also regrow a whole new plant from the "stump" end.

    I am SO GLAD I came across this video. I want to grow some Bok Choy this year, and your know how, is the best. I think this will be fun growing these. I love the tip about the long stem, and planting it deep. I wouldnt have known that. What size container are you using there? Also, what variety of Bok Choy is it?

    Great video, I have a tip you might like. When my pak choi looks like yours when you harvest. I pick the outer row of stems, and leave the plant growing. Every time the outer row or 2 matures I pick them leaving the plant. I do this all summer long harvesting pak choi and the plant just keeps producing & very seldom ever bolts.

      So glad it helped you. I do better with illustrations myself rather than verbal descriptions. I figured most people are probably the same way

    Hi H&N, thank you for putting up this video. I have 2 questions for you: 1. what do you do with the stem that you left in the soil and 2. I just bought from the store 2 baby bok choy plants, nor even 5 inch tall and they start putting yellow flowers? What to i do with them? will they still make baby bok choys? Thank you....Be well.

    After harvesting, will the plant grow back or is it done for the season?

      If you just cut the leaves off and not the stem it will grow back it was fun too watch

    They are massive. What we buy in the Supermarkets, here in England are so small in comparison.

      I really don't like the ones in our grocery stores here in USA. They are usually soft and wilted. Nothing comes close to garden fresh ❤️❤️
