    I have some pak choi that came up well, been in about 3-4 weeks, but now seems to be bolting to flower rather than form a solid heart of leaves.

    Me too - all mine have bolted this year. I've heard that growing in pots, and then transplanting is a sure way to get them to bolt, and that they should be planted straight in the ground.

    Any ideas anyone?


    cheers,
    Dave

    "I've heard that growing in pots, and then transplanting is a sure way to get them to bolt, and that they should be planted straight in the ground."

    I agree with that.

    Mine have bolted too, still eating them though! they have only a really thin white part, they are mostly leaves but I have had them chopped in a salad and also stir fried them with mushrooms and balsamic vinegar/sugar reduction which was lovely!:)

    I will try again sowing them direct and see what happens
