Pak A Let’s Grow

s Budding Farmers, we get excited to start our garden even if it’s with just a few plants. Let’s go on a journey together with this crunchy goodness!

Pak choi is so easy to grow that even a Budding Farmer can do it. All you have to do is scatter the seeds on the plot, cover them lightly with compost, and water them. When they have four or five leaves, transplant them to a plot or a container with at least 4 inches of separation between each plant.

Pak-choi; (Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis) belongs to the Cruciferae family.

Pak-choi can be eaten either raw or cooked. It contains carbohydrate, protein, fat, dietary fibre, vitamin C and sodium. Planting a few crops weekly will provide a constant supply of this vegetable for the household. (Can you start to count the money being saved right here?)

What you will need:

• Pak choi seeds

• Container or small part of garden

• Soil

• Fertilizer, compost

• Water
