Bok Choy and Broccoli
Bok Choy. Pak Choi. Boc Choi. Pac Choy.
However you spell it (it means "white vegetable" in Cantonese), I harvested, cooked, and ate it for dinner! Sauteed in a little olive oil, a bit of garlic and ginger (I cheated and used powdered), it was tasty. I prefer it in won ton soup, where you get just bit of it. The stems didn't get a bulbous as the kind in the groceries, or else that is a different variety from mine.
Oh, boy, the excitement of harvesting my own broccoli! (Insert sarcasm here.) Yeah, this was as big as my heads of broccoli got! I read that this can be caused by the plant being in a small container too long, but I don't think that is the problem here. Nor is it due to cold temperatures as seedling, unless the nursery didn't care for them properly. I think it is just me. Fall and winter vegetables are just not for me. Maybe lettuce is fine, but not the others.

Bok Choy - something small nibbled a bit on the leaves. |
