  • This video will show you how to grow Bok Choy from seed to harvest in a container in your home. This is an Advanced Complete Growing Guide made Easy to understand. It’s a type of Chinese cabbage, which can be used in your salads and stir-fries. It makes a tasty raw salad green, and you can harvest it fresh well into summer after lettuces and other salad greens are no longer available.

  • @rebeccasuzannerustigian1257

    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.

    • @HollisNancysHomestead
      @HollisNancysHomestead  Před 2 měsíci

      @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

  • @cjboac9864

    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 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?
