If you collect a handful of Bok Choy seeds, you could have a fall or next-spring crop of microgreens. Broadcast-sowing them thickly and harvesting between the cotyledon and 4-real-leaf stages produces a tasty garnish or salad ingredient in 3-4 weeks, but not many mouths-full per packet of seeds.

When I had some bolt early in the summer, they developed dry. brown, cracking pods early enough that I was able to just tip the stems over a cardboard box and shake out a lot of seeds.

Thanks for the tip Rick - I don't have plans for anything else there this year, so I will just let ether go and see what happens.

I got quite a bit of self seeded cilantro this year, when I left them to flower last year.

I hope they drop some seeds early enough to give you a baby-leaf fall crop!

Brassicas do cross-pollinate very freely (by insects), but I figure that most baby leaves are tasty even if they are "mongrels".

I have seeds left for next year, but this is what I bought and received today:
Planting now, hoping to grow some before it frosts;


And these for this winter;




And for next spring;




And some flowers to mix in the garden

New for me is one hybrid Mountain Pride tomato plant. I forgot to ask if it was determinate, which it is. So, I may still not get any tomatoes, as they are a spring/early summer harvest. Anyone know if you can get a fall harvest too?????

Here is a current picture of my pigley pigeon peas. I moved the pot over to the tomato trellis where one of the tomato plants died mysteriously. I have no idea why, all I did was step on it one time, and snap the top off.

LOL, those tomato plants are just SO sensitive!!
