I've cooked Bok Choy from the grocery store for years for soups and stir fry, but it simply tastes better when cooked fresh from the garden. This smaller one is a quick grower--the plants were quite small when I bought them in a 9 pack from a garden center, and I got over a dozen plants that quickly grew in part sun, with almost daily watering, and a few rounds of 10-10-10. I plan on going fully organic when I get chickens, but that's not going to be for awhile, so I have to use fertilizer here in our sandy, fast draining soil in Northcentral Florida.
This variety has a very good flavor when picked young, and the stalks don't turn to mush when cooked--they are tender, but still have some substance in the mouth.
