I’m going to say that your problem on the Bok Choy is most likely Flea Beatles. This is the right time for them to be active where you are.

They’ll be in my garden soon enough! They can be pests on my green beans and they absolutely LOVE Eggplant. Jerks! :(

A quick reading says you're probably right. I'll be on the look out for tiny black jumping things. I guess netting row cover needs to be added to my shopping list.

Meanwhile, my rain gauge appears to be taking the scenic route. Seven locations so far.

Guess there were no trucks going from Hodgkins/Springfield IL to St Louis. Will be interesting to see if it takes I-70 back across MO or jumps down to Springfield MO to get to the Mark Twain National Forest where I am. Est delivery pushed from Tues to Wed.(4 more days of rain) I guess Mr Rainguage wants to see a few more sites. I'm thinking Springfield up to Rolla UPS which is where our UPS deliveries come from.

Then there's this thing.

Most of Baker Creek's pics show them harvested with flowers but with a lot thicker stalks than I have.

Choy Sum. (or Choy Very Little) One small side dish for one person per one plant seems a little stingy. LOL
