What is special about our bok choi?
Bok choi is a leafy brassica, but you do not grow it for a firm head like cabbage. You harvest the whole plant while it is still young and tender.
It grows quickly, so it is useful when you want a fast harvest from a square. Sow it in spring or late summer; in the hottest part of summer it can bolt more quickly.

Sowing and growing bok choi
Sow bok choi directly in a square. Make 4 small holes, place a few seeds in each hole, cover them lightly, and keep the mix moist.
When the seedlings are large enough to handle, leave the strongest seedling in each spot. Bok choi grows fast, so keep an eye on it and harvest while the stems and leaves are still tender.

How can you use bok choi?
Bok choi is perfect for stir-fries. Slice the stems and leaves, then cook them briefly with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, or a little chilli.
It is also good in soups, noodle dishes, and simple fried rice. Add it near the end so the stems stay crisp and the leaves stay fresh.

Some variety names include F1. That means the seeds are hybrid seeds: the result of careful plant breeding.
F1 varieties are often extra reliable, productive, or resistant to certain problems. The only downside is that you cannot save their seeds and expect the next generation to stay the same.
