Our fridge is well stocked with Asian greens at the moment although the season for them is quickly coming to an end as the weather heats up.
I've grown bok choy now for that past three years and this is my best crop yet. Unlike our old garden, slugs don't seem to be much of a problem here, although I have spotted a few. In prior years, I would lose about 30 to 40 percent of my crop from slug damage alone but this year, every single one was made it to harvest unscathed.
Of course I'm also growing my usual tatsoi and Shanghai bok choy. I've probably mentioned this before but my favorite way to prepare bok choy is so saute them in some butter on high heat. I add season with soy sauce, a couple pinches of sugar and some chile paste. Delicious!
Your bok choy has to be the most beautiful and perfect bok choy I've seen!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! How do keep them from being eaten by bugs from the start? I always have trouble with brassicas and Asian greens in that respect. I would love to have some as nice as yours!
ReplyDeleteWow, those greens are absolutely beautiful! That cold weather up there must really make them happy. I have slugs galore this year from our mild winter :(
ReplyDeletethey look amazing. so perfect!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous greens! Mine unfortunately were half eaten by slugs and leafminer.
ReplyDeleteYour bok choy look really good! They are picture perfect. I love the way the water droplets cling to the back of the leaves.
ReplyDeleteThey look beautiful. My favorite way to prepare them is to dress them with a simple olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and a touch of sugar and grill them. I quarter them first and remove the leafy part because it burns otherwise.
ReplyDeleteThose are just picture perfect! I notice both you and Daphne dress them when cooking with a pinch of sugar? I think I may need to try that myself. I will have to wait until this fall though, as I am down to cabbages and kale but the pac choi and tatsoi are done for me this spring already.
ReplyDeleteI thought I was doing well but can't compete with those stunning specimens. Thanks for the reassurance about their seasonality - mine are all bolting now.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, must try growing those in the fall.
