I'm trying for the first time this year ...
Well, my "rows" amounted to a four-foot double row. Gonna
leave the remaining ten plants in place, primarily to see
how they handle hot
weather. I'm thinking that, next year, five or six plants
will be more my speed, too.
Along with the bok choy, I'm trying a couple of other
new-to-me
stuff, too. Those that interest me most are celery and a
"new" variety of carrots.

I wish you luck with the celery.

I grew beautiful, plump and juicy celery in Michigan, but
my attempts in SE VA were a bust. Too stringy and thin
stalks. Between the long growing span of celery and the
heat here, celery wasn't happy and the results weren't
worth the effort and garden space.

won't grow here or the voles get it
