- Carol L.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars7/7/26First Time Grower
My first bok choy is almost ready to harvest, and I am thrilled. (The heads I thinned out were delicious.)
The seed was high quality. I had nearly total germination. I have a patio garden, and I am growing my bok choy in a 24 inch wide pot under row cover to minimize insect damage.

- Kerry L.Rated 5 out of 5 stars5/12/26Year after year!
Year 3, 6B container amateur here again! Of all the seeds I have tried , every kind, every brand these NEVER let me down - not kidding I don’t think one seed has failed nor one seedling not grown! There are some Baby BC’s in here as well, occasionally I’ll sneak a baby leaf or two to bulk up a salad but mostly they get stir fried! If you don’t know what you’re doing start here! 😂
