- AnneRated 5 out of 5 stars11/29/25So great the birds loved it too
So easy to grow and flavorful! The birds liked them too, so it impacted my harvest. But now I know. The kale next to it seems to have no pest pressure.

- HELEN M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars11/26/25Adorable
Just the cutest little bok choy! Super fast growing and tasted great sautéed with some soy sauce and garlic. YUM! ZERO pests even though aphids and armyworms absolutely murdered my nearby spinach, romaine, kale and arugula.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with our Toy Choy Bok Choy Seeds! We love hearing that they lived up to their adorable name and grew super fast for you. It sounds like that sautéed dish with soy sauce and garlic was absolutely delicious! What's even more impressive is how pest-resistant they were - it's amazing that the aphids and armyworms left your bok choy completely alone while going after your other greens. That's such a great testament to how hardy these little guys can be! Thanks for sharing your growing success with us. Keep on growing 🌻️
