Instructions
Start pack choi seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost in your area. Follow the seed depth and spacing guidelines indicated below. Once all danger of frost has passed, seedlings should be hardened off before planting in their growing location. Seedlings should be transplanted according to the plant and row spacing directions below. Regularly monitor your plants and ensure that the soil remains moist , but not soggy while they establish themselves in their new environment. Pak Choi grows quickly and more seeds can be succession planted every 3-4 weeks until August for a continuous supply.

- Instructions for Nutrient Care: Apply SUPERThrive once per week. Soak in solution of 1/4 tsp per gal for 15 min. or longer depending on size and type.
Suggestions
Growing Suggestions:
- Pak choi is an excellent crop for cut and come again. Baby leaves are ready to pick in as little as 30 days – snip off individual leaves, only taking a few from each plant. Plants will continue to produce fresh leaves for repeated pickings until they start to flower. The young leaves can be used raw in salads or add to stir-fries.
- Pak choi likes cool, damp conditions, so keep plants well watered and in light shade, especially in summer.
- Row covers can be used to protect plants from pests such as cutworms and slugs and from summer heat.

Pak choi Mei Quig
"Great germination"
Most of the seeds sprouted,
"Most of the seeds sprouted, I am happy with them"
Love these seeds
"Easy to germinate and very easy to grown in Hydroponics. I will be buying more this spring."
Pak Choi Seeds
"not enough seeds in the package. Usually McKenzie gives lots of seeds, so I can do another sowing if the first planting fails. Not with these."

"Pak choi"
Cool spring plant
"Good germination, but mine bolted easily. I wish there were more seeds in a pack."
Quick Growth Excellent Taste
"Very good flavour. Few seeds per packet. I found them slower to bolt than the Cantong White variety. Plagued with flea beetles in the early spring here in Alberta, so maybe try to grow them well away from grass, raised off the ground, and/or cover them with fine netting."
Grew great
"These grew so nicely right off the bat. However unfortunately for me, the weather didn't cooperate. We got a lot of rain followed by extreme heat, this year in Alberta. My first plants bolted. Reseeded then they got attacked by hail. No fault of the seeds they germinated well and did grow. One day I will get to enjoy them."
