Just keep planting it. The weathermen think a change is in store next week though. A Bermuda high has been predicted in the long range forecast and if you've lived here any length of time you know that means hot and humid weather for us. It would be about time for it. Such a weird June with no heat spells at all.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-69180903203334697432009-06-17T11:45:38.717-04:002009-06-17T11:45:38.717-04:00Congratulations on the amazing harvest and dent yo...Congratulations on the amazing harvest and dent you made on your garden deficit.<br /><br />Some of my lettuce has started to bolt, but not my most successful crop over at my community garden.

One of the other buyers was trying to figure out what tatsoi was. I told her how to use it. I'm sure the farmer had a good chuckle since I made the sale for her.<br /><br />Dan, Our leaf miners are so bad around here that I couldn't eat it if I didn't do an inspection every couple of days. I think their eggs hatch in four days so do it at least every three. As long as you don't let your chard get too many leaves on it, it is not that time consuming, but you do have to keep up with it. Luckily there are lulls in the leaf miners at time while the new generation grows up. I'm in a lull right now so don't have to check. As to tatsoi, make sure you don't keep them in pots for too long before transplanting. They are such quickly growing plants that if you keep it in a pot for more than 2-3 weeks it will bolt for sure before getting big. BTW the leaves taste just fine as they bolt, so pull it out as soon as you see the stalk start to come up. Eat it too in stir fries :><br /><br />Mrs. Darling, good luck. I have almost forgotten to weigh things many times over the last few weeks, but I seem to be keeping up.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-50491757650993397542009-06-15T20:03:40.504-04:002009-06-15T20:03:40.504-04:00Amazing.

I have replanted tatsoi as well and some bok choy after both bolted.

It is amazing how all those little things add up.<br /><br />Toni, Well for each green I have a favorite way of cooking it, but any can be thrown in a stir fry. For tatsoi my all time favorite is to put it in the bottom of a soup bowl. Then I heat to boiling some chicken broth with a little soy sauce added. I pour the hot broth over the tatsoi leaves. It cooks it just right. The Komatsuna I boil up in a tiny bit of water the ribs first until almost cooked then throw in the leaves. Once cooked I squeeze out the excess water and drizzle soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil over the top. Chinese cabbage I stir fry or make oriental salads. Tyfon is harder. I haven't found a favorite way yet. My friend who got my bunch last week said she was going to throw it into some spaghetti sauce. I haven't tried it that way before.<br /><br />David, thanks. That is the MQS. It is the prettiest lettuce of all.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-72914578348859262402009-06-15T10:47:11.948-04:002009-06-15T10:47:11.948-04:00Great stuff!
