This is a great video! Wonderful to see how it will look week by week and what to do at each step. It’s also nice to see it can be done in bins, no need for fancy raised beds or equipment. No extra fluff, short and to the point.
Thanks so much!
Very clear, honest and to the point video. Fantastic and THANK YOU! It is very refreshing when someone shows the actual step by step method, the weekly expected growth with added tips in such a short video. Once again thank you. Will definitely give it a go!
I am glad that it was useful
I couldn't have said it better.

Thank you for sharing. Subscribed 😃
Thank you
Great vid!! I subscribed to you last year or the year before sometime!😊🌱
Appreciate it. Also share it with your friends and family.
You mentioned too much direct sun is hard on leafy plants. My sweet corn is about to be havested. Going to try planting bok choy between rows. Leaving standing stalks after corn harvest for shade. Can't hurt to try. Thanks for information.
Good thinking
Hardware cloth would be better for those pests...lol...Great video thank you for the video, love seeing the results.
Lol thank you
I always enjoy watching your Garden Channel because your methods and presentations are so realistic! Just know that I’m learning and growing with you! I think you are an awesome teacher! Thank you!
(Which zone do you live? I’m in Southern California.)
Thank you so much. I am in zone 9b
Very healthy.
Yes
Very helpful video 😘
Great
Great infor. Frist time I am growing Bok Choy. I am going to directly throw in the ground more like experiment for me. As I am more of Herb grower. Can't wait to see the results! Thank you
Best of luck!
Thank you!
You are welcome
I have bought the seeds and I will start planting this leafy vegetable hope it will grow well 👍
I just planted mine for fall harvest
i got my seeds from the chinese grocery store. it's from taiwan. I prefer the cantonese variant, but it was 1.60 for seeds beggers can't be choosers. But my cantonese variant is coming in october. Can't wait. LOLs.
Awesome
Thank you for sharing your knowledge❤️. I live in northeast Florida in zone 9a to 8b and wanted to know if you think I should wait to start seedlings or if now would be ok. I will have a few light frosts before mid February when it starts to warm up. My cabbages and romain lettuce are growing nicely but I planted those as seedlings about 1 month ago. Will bok choy be similar in its cold hardiness to cabbage and lettuce?
You can start bok choy seeds inside now and transplant them outside later
I was able to start my bok choy seeds outdoor in January in zone 9b and they grow well. The germination does take longer but these plants are pretty hardy
Thanks for sharing the tips. I have a question on watering how frequent I should water the bok choy after transfer to big containers
Poke your finger about one inch deep in the soil. If the soil is moist there, do not water otherwise water it. Also if you see leaves drooping, it needs water.
I didn't know it was a bi-annual. Thanks.
You are welcome
Great instructional video. I planted bok choy for the first time. I planted seed directly in my garden soil. It started growing nicely however it grew thin and tall. They never got thick enough to consider harvesting and eating. What did I do wrong? I was expecting a thick plant like the bok chop in the grocery store.
Most probably lack of sun
But do not compare with store products, they are grown by professionals
Great video! Thank you for sharing. You mentioned the bok choy get 4 to 5 hours of direct sun, from 10 to 3. So where do you keep container where the bok choy is in after 3?
It gets the shade from trees after that automatically
@@EasyPeasyGardening Thank you!
Thanks for the video. Can we delay the growth of the extra seedlings and plant them a few weeks later?
You can stagger the planting of seeds. You can't delay the growth
Thank you for all the info. it was very helpful. Very nice to see whole life cycle of plant especially the regrowth.
You said it was a bi-annual meaning it will set seed the second year, but is it hardy in colder areas to come back?
I will have to check the zones but in zone 9, it cones back
@@EasyPeasyGardening I'M IN ZONE 5. PARSLEY SETS SEEDS THE SECOND YEAR HERE. bUT MOST OF WINTER, IT'S BELOW FREEZING
@@eveny119 do your plants die in winter
@@EasyPeasyGardening-Tender annuals die like geraniums. Perennials die but come back like Lilies .
The squirrels have special participation in your video. That's what you called "video content".
😊
Excellent video, what kind of dry leaves on top of the soil? And what's for? Please reply.
Mulching to stabilize the soil temp
Hi, someone, on another channel asked "where do you buy the seed?" Since no one else answered I did. But my comment
was not allowed. So I am posting it here:
"I will answer, since no one else did. This is what happened: I saw one of those videos on YT that teach how to grow veggies from supermarket scraps. I tried green onions (it worked). I tried other veggies..it did not work. I tried baby BOK choi. It grew, but the leaves were small. How disappointing! I forgot about it, but I still watered it once in a while. Guess what happened next? It went into seed. Beautiful little yellow flowers produced hundreds of seeds! Even if they don't grow in full. you still get MICROGREENS. This year, I just kept the (root) end of a regular size supermarket bok choi and planted, and I have a forest of bok choi!. If you want to try it, cut 2 inches (root end) bok choi and put it in a pot with fertile soil. Water often, but not so much you make it rot. Observe it and adjust accordingly."
PS It may take up to 4 months to develop seed.
Good tips
I planted some bok choy & it’s a bit leggy. Is there anyway to fix that like planting deeper when I transplant them?
Yes, you should do that
@@EasyPeasyGardening Thanks!
Can you please guide me regarding the depth of the container. I have 8 inch deep containers, can I grow 1 plant in each container easily in 8 inch diameter 8 inch depth buckets? Also I never eat bok choy before, which is the best way to eat it?
Yes, you can grow one plant in each container. You can make bok choy as stir-fried vegetable in Chinese style
Will they not bolt the first year in hot weather? I'm starting early but I worry. Would the hotter weather give them a itter or sour taste like other greens? Also, I have packets labeled Bok, Pac, and Baby choy, just marketing?
They are all the same. They will bolt in hot weather so you have to plant early
One more question , do you have to drill holes at the bottoms of the storage bin ? Thx
I did it on the sides
Im growing Bok Choy for the first time from seed.....do I thin them out like carrots if there are too many to close together ?
No need. As you harvest them, they will thin down automatically
Yuyyy
I have never done any gardening in my life before and now i have started, my bok choy not germinate at all, we're in India currently and it's monsoon here, they do get sunlight. I don't know what to do
This is not a good time to grow leafy vegetables during rains
Can we grow bok choy in summer too? Like inside the house
Maybe in a greenhouse.
❤👏👏👏
Thanks
Don't know if you have this problem : often overnight the whole bok choy is covered with spider web like & the plant is ruined. Any idea what the pest is ?
And it's not spider? I haven't had that problem.
Could it be downy mildew?
Also know when you harvest if you blanch for 2 minutes in hot water then put it in ice cold water for 2 minutes then put it in a freezer bag get out all the air out put it in the deepest part of your freezer , you can freeze Bok Choy for up to a year. 😜
Awesome! Thanks for the tip.
@@EasyPeasyGardening you're welcome. Wondering if you could do a video on leeks and fennel from seed to harvest please I beg you I need help. 😊❤️🙏
@@FairyChild_For_Freedom-Justice sure I can
How long did it take to mature?
Around 6 weeks
What size container did you use?
It's about 2 feet in length, 18 inches in width and 15 inches in depth but you don't need that deep a container
Can you please tell me where I can buy bak choy seeds.??
Check Amazon or etsy
If they flowered did I wait too long?
The leaves start to become tough after so.e time. You can prune it now, use the leaves and fresh leaves may grow
My seedlings came very tall
Probably they are not getting enough sun.
What zone are you?
9b
Perfect, me too. Will subscribe so that I can follow along :D
Too difficult to hear with all the background noise.
Sorry for your experience
So you just put the seed on the soil and spray water over them, no need to dig holes first then bury them?
Spread a thin layer of soil on top
