Topic: Pak Choi

[Phil Artio]

Do any of you good people know where I can order Pak Choi (or even Bok Choi) seeds on line?

It makes a cracking addition to the normal brassicas. Any assistance rendered would be greatfully received.

This Chinese vegetable has really taken off! Harvest either when young or fully grown and use for salads or stir-fries. Very easy to grow and highly nutritious.
Approx. 150 seeds.

Price:  £1.15
hope this helps

Phil remember to cover it with fleece whilst growing, the flea beetles adore it! ;D

Sad  that Organics don't do it - but Suffolk Herbs (et al) do - www.suffolkherbs.com = Tim

Get it in soon - & cover with fleece?

and sow small and often-if it bolts then eat the flowering stems-they are lovely.

Thanks very much for your prompt responses.......I shall depart immediately to slaughter a small sheep. Is the fleece to placed woolly side down?

Yes but make sure it isn't a wolf ;D

What is it about online shopping? I visit my dear friend the pastoral Mr. Fothergill with the express intention of buying one packet of seeds.........£34.95 later..............I am the proud owner of strawberry runners, raspberry canes, late potatoes .......oh yes and a 'free' packet of seed only costing 10p.

Naturally, this means that I will now be required to dig a significant section of my very large plot to relieve it of the incumbent couch grass. Good grief, I may even miss early morning mass!

Meantime, any ideas regarding foxes? I have a major problem with the little blighters pulling up the pegs that retain the weed fabric that so liberally covers the plot.

Hi.I dont know about foxes pulling up pegs but we put off foxes from eating our chickens by collecting urine and pouring it or put it in yogurt pots around the edges of our plottie . If you put it in pots top it up weekly if you just pour it do it daily. it also works for squirrels. dont know if this will help .best of luck  Angie.

Re the urine - what I was told, it only works if you use male urine?  Not that I have any choice in the matter - ??? !!!

Good luck - Gavin

PS I used to use urine on the paths which the foxes used to access my plot - and yes, they did stop using those paths!




Didn't stop 'em finding new paths! ;D
