This pak choi and tatsoi were started indoors in late October, and planted in the greenhouse 3 weeks later (mid-November). Since the greenhouse is only "lightly" heated in the coldest weather, they took a lot longer than normal. However, they were also ready a few weeks ago. I harvested pak choi from that same batch back in January and February, so they've all been in sort of holding pattern for a while. Now I'm getting ready to replant those beds with seedlings I started 1/27. Those were started indoors under lights and put in the greenhouse to harden off about 2 weeks ago. I'll try and post about that later in the week. Thanks for stopping by! Mike, I’m still working on the timing myself!

Your pac choi and tatsoi are incredible. As I have very little luck with asian greens (it's a timing thing) can you tell me when you started those particular ones and if they were grown outdoors or inside? Thanks .

Villager, I think my goal will be to eventually get as good at growing lettuces as you are. My seedlings don't look nearly that robust, and those Simpson Elites and Multys are just gorgeous. As for the mustard greens, my Tatsoi plants are just now sprouting... maybe I'll have something like that in a few weeks. I hope. :) Beautiful harvest!

It is a great color too. It makes a good color contrast with the tatsoi. I'll be growing a lot of Asian greens too, but not the pretty yellow green color you have.

It's different from most of the other pak choi's I grow in that it makes more leaves than stems, which I think makes it nice for stir fries or adding to soups. It has a mild flavor, and it did pair well with the tatsoi. Thanks to you both for stopping by! Noelle, we must be thinking alike because we had some of that very lettuce for lunch here at HA. :-) Michelle and O.G., the Golden Yellow pak choi came from Kitazawa Seed.
