Timing: Start Indoors: For a spring harvest, start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date. Planting Outdoors: For a fall harvest, sow seeds directly outside 6-8 weeks before the first frost date. Bok choy prefers cooler weather and can bolt (flower) in high heat. Seed Starting Indoors: Soil: Use a well-draining seed starting mix in trays or pots. Sowing: Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep, covering lightly with soil. Spacing: Sow seeds about 1 inch apart in rows or cells. Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Temperature: Aim for a soil temperature of around 60-70°F (15-21°C) for germination. Light: Provide plenty of light either from a sunny window or grow lights. Thinning: Once seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them so that they are spaced about 6-12 inches apart. Hardening Off: Before transplanting outdoors, gradually acclimate the seedlings to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days. Direct Sowing Outdoors: Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by tilling and adding compost or well-rotted manure to provide nutrients. Sowing: Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in rows, spacing seeds 1 inch apart. Spacing: Rows should be spaced about 18-30 inches apart. Watering: Water the seeds gently to moisten the soil without causing erosion. Thinning: Thin seedlings to stand 6-12 inches apart once they have a couple of true leaves. General Care: Water: Keep the soil consistently moist, as bok choy does not tolerate drought well. Mulching: Use mulch to retain moisture and control weeds. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer a few weeks after transplanting or when the plants are about 4 inches tall. Pests: Watch out for pests like aphids and cabbage worms, and use appropriate organic controls if necessary. Harvesting: Bok choy can be harvested when leaves are 3 inches tall for baby greens or left to grow to full size, typically 12-18 inches. Cut the base to harvest the whole plant or pick outer leaves as needed. Remember, bok choy grows best in cool weather, so if you’re in a warmer climate, it’s best to plant it in late summer for a fall harvest. If temperatures start to climb, provide some shade to extend the growing season.
