| Attractive plants ideal for small spaces and containers. Leaves and stalks are very flavorful and great for cooking. However, this variety is quick to bolt in zone 9. I planted transplants in early October and harvested leaves in early November. In hope of a second crop, they bolted shortly after. I figure dwarf varieties are not ideal for producing continuous crops like the non-dwarf larger leafed varieties and the mild weather did not help. Will try again mid-winter when daytime conditions get cooler and stay in the upper 50's-low 60's. |

| I tried a lot of new varieties in the garden this year and Toy Choi was one of them. I hate to judge anything too harshly since we had such a cold, wet spring, but this variety was a real disappointment. Interesting that the variety description above recommends a summer crop; my packaging says plant for early or fall crop. Maybe it would have done better later. As a spring crop, it was very stunted and bitter. |
