Description
Bok Choy is one of the best kept secrets of the Chinese Culinary Tradition. It’s our favorite Cabbage to grow in the Florida Garden. Well-adapted to the Sunshine State’s Unique Climate, Bok Choy survives temperatures as high as 95 degrees and as low as 27 degrees! It’s preferred temperature range is between 65 and 80 degrees.
Large Green Leaves grow on tender white stems, emanating from the white bulbous base. Every part of the plant is edible. Cook Bok Choy like Kohl Rabi, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, and Cabbage. Naturally it lends itself well to soups, salads, and stews. Ferment it into a Sauerkraut or Kimchi.
Harvest: Expect to begin harvesting Bok Choy as early as 40 to 50 days after seeds sprout. Start by harvesting leaves from the outside of the plant. Once plant produces 10 to 15 leaves/stems, make sure to either harvest part of the plant or the entire head. If Bok Choy produces more than 15 leaves/stems, it can develop a bitter taste.
Planting/Growing: Start Bok Choy from seed from the Late Summer into Late Spring.
