#PakChoi #plants in 3 gallon pots.
“Pak Choi” translates to “white vegetable” in Cantonese due to their white stems. Cultivation began in the #YangtzeRiver Delta region & spread to other parts of Asia, thanks to traders & migrating populations.

Pak choi looks almost identical to bok choy but they're two different plants. Pak choi has darker leaves as it matures. Pak choi stems are white, more visibly so when matured. Bok choy stems are pale green. Pak choi has more of a peppery undertone taste, while bok choy has subtle sweetness. We grow both of these similar plants in our backyard food gardens.

I have 3 blueberry plants & only one has produced berries so far.

What do #broccoli, #cabbage, #cauliflower, #brusselssprouts, #collardgreens, #kohlrabi, and #kale all have in common? The answer is… their #species!
Kale and cabbage and the others are the same plant. A wild mustard plant (Brassica oleracea) was the original source of the diverse forms of #Brassica that we are familiar with today. All these forms of Brassica oleracea were the result of artificial selection by early #farmers and plant breeders.
