If the small Pok Choi plants start shooting up flower stems should I remove them right away? They are yellow flowers and the plants are no where near being big enough to eat.

I think removing the flower stem is not going to help. Sounds like your crop is a gonner if it goes to seed.

Removing the flowers will slow it down, but not stop it from bolting. How tall are they now? I think Pak Choi can be harvested at any time even though small, so I would pull them and use in a stir fry or kim chee.

Thanks for your replys, this is my first time growing the Pok Choi and I started it from seed in the green house this spring--the plants are still very very small...how sad....a waste of time and supplies

Growing Pok Choy, Bok Choy etc, the plants need to stay cool and not be submitted to high temps, especially when they are young. Perhaps your g-house got a bit too hot for a period of time and kicked in their reproduction stage prematurely.

I'd try them again in the late Summer and Fall. I have much better luck with a Fall crop of Brassica family. (Less bugs then, too!)

Don't give up. Pok choy (and others) are delish for kimchee and for grilling (olive oil and sesame!). It don't get much better, Jbpb!
