Pak choi grows best in cool weather. Plant in early spring in full sun and rich, loose soil. Keep soil moist until plants are well established. Treat with vegetable fertilizer or a side dressing of compost two weeks after plants emerge.

Remove side stems as needed, or harvest the entire plant by cutting close to the ground. Plant a second crop in late summer for a fall harvest.

Nutritious and versatile, baby bok choy features a compact, vigorous plant with extra-tender stems and leaves. Also known as Chinese cabbage, but does not form a head. Delicious in stir-fries.

“Toy choy” likes fertile soil with plenty of moisture for fastest growth. In mild climates, plant in fall for winter harvest. In cooler climates, sow seed as soon as the soil can be worked, and again in late summer for fall harvest. Feed every two weeks with a balanced fertilizer.

Cut baby leaves to serve raw in salads, then allow the little plants to develop thick white stalks. Begin harvesting plants in just 35 days.

The same delicious crispy stems and nutritious leafy greens as pak choi, in dwarf size! Easy to steam and serve toy choy plants whole. Grows quickly in cool weather but also well suited for summer months. Perfect for small gardens.
