Welcome!

[@janellenathasingh3530]

There is really no excuse with planting. Love that you grew it in the holes of the bricks. And they look so nice and healthy. That's great 👏🏼🌱 Really enjoyed this video as usual 🙂

[@thetrinigardener4712]

Thank you for watching!

[@kartrim39]

I'm a new gardener. I bought 2 new pakchoi seedings and they are growing nicely. Thanks for the tips.

[@thetrinigardener4712]

This makes me so happy to hear!

[@ianjoseph145]

Thanks for the excellent advice on planting and care for plants keep up the great work appreciate your videos.

[@ninoskasingh5312]

I am so happy that I got your tik tok videos on my FYP and then I came on KZbin and subscribed to your channel immediately. I am now more motivated and encouraged to start my kitchen garden and I want to start with seasonings, patchoi and lettuce. I wanted so bad to get local content on social media on home gardening. Thanks so much for doing this.

[@thetrinigardener4712]

You have made me so happy to hear that these videos are motivating you. Keep on growing I'm so proud of you!

[@annmartin1585]

Very informative especially for a beginner like me who needs information from a local teacher. Thank you.

[@garnetjaglal3308]

You are right, and I grow these all the time

[@MegaSimoneB]

I agree with you on growing pakchoi. It grows quickly and I found it tastier in the home garden. I also regrow from the cut base. I had one that bolted so now I am waiting to harvest seeds.

[@thetrinigardener4712]

Yes such an amazing crop! Love harvesting the seeds, free plants!

[@nicholas32]

Glad I found you channel. Nice job

[@nezzie35]

Good day, I now starting off with my home garden, and I got some bokchoy seedlings which started growing nicely, but then the leaves began to get some thing which I assume may be a fungus then they dried up and die. I ve them in pots .

[@annbrian708]

I'm from Trinidad. Where did you purchase your patchoi seedling for 50cents? I see seedlings for as much as $2.

[@danielseerattan980]

I planted alot of pak choi and they got an infestation or aphids.. do you have any remedies for that?

[@deonarinemetoo1065]

What soil you used

[@ziongrant2008]

Hi Trini Gardener ...what can i do when the leaves are a bit pale? i have some that are very green but others quite pale in colour, all are in full sun

[@thetrinigardener4712]

That's OK it happens!

[@albertatroutman5248]

I’ve tried growing Bok choy for two years straight with Little to no success. What am I doing wrong?

[@nwilson3088]

How do you deal with the worm

[@kimberlybennie5637]

Hi how can we reach you for questions for a University project based on container gardening?

[@rhondasargeant7488]

I have been having major issues with leaf miners. Have you ever experienced this before? If so. How did you get rid of them.

[@thetrinigardener4712]

Hi! I have had leaf miner before but they have never been a massive problem or hindered the growth of my plants. Could you email me some pics of your plants at [e-mail] and I'll take a closer look?

[@rhondasargeant7488]

@@thetrinigardener4712 I already got rid of the ones that were infected. I looked it up on KZbin and it was recommended to remove the infected leaves . I just replanted some pak choi, so I was wondering how to prevent it from happening again.

[@thetrinigardener4712]

@@rhondasargeant7488 A preventative measure would be to spray the plants with one part vegetable oil, one part water and 2-3 drops of dish washing liquid. If they attack heavily then switch the veg oil for neem oil.

[@rhondasargeant7488]

@@thetrinigardener4712 Thank you 😊. Will try that.

[@boyskan15]

Hello great video. My bok choi keeps on growing upwards and providing yellow flowers. I cant make it to grow wide and thick. What should I do?

[@thetrinigardener4712]

Hey, the bok choi grows like that when it's stressed for some reason. That process is called bolting, the plant is producing flowers and going to seed. Some reasons for the plant being stressed would be: too much heat, pest pressure, lack of nutrients, age. Do any of these sound like something you had with your bok choi before?

[@kathleencockburn2607]

Insects love p choy more than humans they get to d heart of d plant and that's it birds fly down and eat.them don't day a scare crow d birds sit on them and seedlings are now $2 each I live in sando but good video

[@thetrinigardener4712]

Yes they do! But I've always found pak choy bounce back even after being eaten by insects. They take a long time to recover but they usually do for me.

[@stephonnicholls150]

How long does it take to harvest from seedling

[@thetrinigardener4712]

4-6 weeks. People in hydroponics are doing it for even less.

[@wendyramkissoon2017]

I try growing pachoi ..but the issues that I am having is worms or maybe caterpillars..but something is eaten away the leaves almost all ..the plant cannot ( catch) itself ..Do help with chewing insects..Thanks

I'm sorry to hear that. Here is a cheap organic mix that you can use. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIbXhoSmnL-jeKs

Use lining type fabric to coverup the veggies just farmers doing it to save their veggies patches

[@desprado3663]

I can't grow bak Choi it is tiny it's bolts (groan)

[@thetrinigardener4712]

Why do you think it bolts? Heat?
