Bok Choy Harvesting

Question

I planted bok choy from a seedling I bought at a Bunnings store. It’s been about a month now and they have gotten stalks with yellow flowers growing from the centers. Is this right? Was I meant to harvest them before this happened? I have no idea about growing veggies but am wanting to learn and grow my own. Please help.

Answer 1

Yes, the plant has bolted and should have been harvested before this. Here is more information on bolting: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/vgen/what-is-bolting-what-it-means-when-a-plant-bolts.htm

You can eat it, but it will not taste as good. Here is some information on growing bok choy: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/bok-choy/planting-bok-choy.htm
