Planting Instructions:

1. Seed Preparation: No special preparation is needed; seeds can be sown directly into the soil.

2. Timing: Plant seeds in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. Bok Choy prefers cooler temperatures and can tolerate light frost.

3. Soil Preparation: Choose a sunny location with well-draining, fertile soil. Amend the soil with compost or organic matter to enhance fertility and drainage.

4. Sowing Depth: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep, spacing them 6-12 inches apart in rows that are 18-24 inches apart. Thin seedlings to 6-12 inches apart once they reach about 2 inches tall.

Growing Conditions:

1. Light: Provide full sun to partial shade. Bok Choy thrives in bright light but can tolerate some shade.

2. Temperature: Best grown in temperatures between 55-75°F (13-24°C). Cooler temperatures enhance the flavor and tenderness of the leaves.

3. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply and regularly, especially during dry spells.

Care Tips:

• Watering: Ensure consistent moisture by watering regularly. Mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
• Fertilizing: Bok Choy benefits from a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer or compost tea applied every 3-4 weeks during the growing season.
• Thinning: Thin seedlings to 6-12 inches apart to give each plant enough room to develop properly.
• Weeding: Keep the area around the plants free of weeds to reduce competition for nutrients and water.

Pest and Disease Management:

• Pests: Monitor for common pests such as aphids, flea beetles, and cabbage worms. Use organic pest control methods, such as neem oil or insecticidal soap, and practice crop rotation to minimize pest issues.
• Diseases: Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases. Remove any affected plants to prevent the spread of disease.

Harvesting and Uses:

• Harvesting: Bok Choy is ready to harvest when the plants reach about 6-12 inches tall, typically 30-45 days after planting. Harvest individual leaves or cut the whole plant at the base for a larger yield. For a continuous supply, plant seeds every 2-3 weeks.
• Storage: Store harvested Bok Choy in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, blanch and freeze the leaves.
• Culinary Uses: Use Bok Choy in a variety of dishes, including stir-fries, soups, salads, and steamed dishes. Its tender stalks and flavorful leaves add a delightful crunch and mild, slightly sweet flavor to your meals.
