I also plant in heavily composted raised beds and that helps a lot too.

But I've heard that the Bok Choy flowers are edible and actually delicious. <BR/><BR/>I never ate any of the bolting stems or the flowers but let me know if you find a good recipe. I'm definitely going to plant more Bok Choy soon for a fall harvest.Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836531596317603886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-36746455998739986642008-08-12T17:34:00.000-04:002008-08-12T17:34:00.000-04:00Hi I am a first time vegie gardener with my grand ...Hi I am a first time vegie gardener with my grand daughter who is 3 we are both learning how good it is to grow our own vegies. and bok choy is one of our crops :) my question is : a few of our bok choy plants look like they have gone to flower does this mean they are no longer any good to eat? <BR/>cheers carolleCashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09057602371609587258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-28129202658980643502008-06-10T15:51:00.000-04:002008-06-10T15:51:00.000-04:00Hi Kelly,There's no slapping allowed on my site. ...Hi Kelly,<BR/>There's no slapping allowed on my site. :) Yes, now I love bok choy too.
