I love Pac choi, but it loves to bolt, so a shade tolerant variety would be grand.JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07508520589637248093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1762929509261919025.post-4914495607425019262010-01-15T14:28:19.754-08:002010-01-15T14:28:19.754-08:00Tina, I hope Green Fortune does well for you!
Dap...Tina, I hope Green Fortune does well for you!<br /><br />Daphne, thanks for making me feel better about letting a hybrid into the garden :)<br /><br />Pushing up Daisies, (love the name by the way) I have found organically grown seed at Peaceful Valley Farm (groworganic.com). But I'm not sure about their shipping policies for Sweden. Sorry to cause you pain in your snow-covered land! (At least you get a gardening break, though...I feel like I have to be growing year-round since it's possible.)Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17591311147406307304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1762929509261919025.post-5688722372930512692010-01-15T00:02:16.786-08:002010-01-15T00:02:16.786-08:00I live in sweden, and i just tried ordering the on...I live in sweden, and i just tried ordering the only organically grown non-hybrid pak choi seed i could find, but they were out of it (i did get all the stuff i picked out just to reach the minimum order though - doh!). Where do you usually order organic seed from?<br />Oh, and great blog! Slightly painful to read when we still have snow up to our knees though...Pushing up Daisieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13476362909625875976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1762929509261919025.post-11466945163171601592010-01-14T06:17:05.585-08:002010-01-14T06:17:05.585-08:00You can always try a side by side trial of the pak...You can always try a side by side trial of the pak choi. I've found that many of the hybrid brassicas grow better than the OP ones, but not always. I let some hybrid brassicas, onions, and carrots in the garden because of their vigor, but try to keep the rest of the garden OP.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1762929509261919025.post-52805492927582899162010-01-14T04:28:03.922-08:002010-01-14T04:28:03.922-08:00I'm going to have to remember this one and ord...I'm going to have to remember this one and order some seeds right away. My garden gets a lot of shade all year round. I have a different variety of Chinese cabbage that is doing well but not as well as this. Looks great!tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.com
