 Pak choi

I love this vegetable and I've tried a number of varieties up here, with moderate success and many failures. The tiny little Shanghai pak choi bolts quick; so do most other varieties. I found a few from Evergreen Seeds and Kitazawa Seeds that do all right, though, although I have to harvest them at exactly the right hour or the flowers appear. They freeze well for winter soups.
