An outstanding hybrid pak choi with its thick, bright white stems and glossy green, slightly ruffled leaves. Organic Bopak is an excellent option for any growing region. Growing to 25cm (10”), Bopak is smaller than Joi Choi in height, but heavier in weight. Wonderful for fresh salads and stir fries with its mild, sweet and delightfully crunchy stems. Good tolerance to both hot and cold temperatures.

Starting
Sow 3-4 seeds 5mm-1cm (¼-½”) deep in each spot you want a plant to grow. Thin to the strongest plant at a spacing of 15-20cm (6-6″) between plants in rows 30-45cm (12-18″) apart.
Timing
All are cool season plants that grow quickly and then bolt. Direct sow with frost protection (a cloche or heavy row cover) as early as late winter, or without protection from four weeks before the last frost date to eight weeks after. Sowing short rows every 2-3 weeks allows for a fairly constant harvest time. Sow again in late summer, and provide frost protection as the first frost date approaches.
Harvest
Use a sharp knife to cut the plants at ground level when they are ready to harvest. They will not grow back like some other crops, so plant several short rows every couple of weeks for a longer harvest.
