The winter ones? http://www.chat.allotment-garden.org/viewtopic.php?p=51581#51581 or did you resow?
Pak choi always bolts :evil: Try again after midsummer.

This year I mixed my raddish seeds with the carrot seeds, and chucked in some spring onions just to confuse the carrot fly ...

... and I've had some great results ... super raddishes and great carrot germination ... think they helped to stop the carrot seed from rotting!!

... and ... as you pull out the raddishes you make room for the carrots to swell ... clever or what !! :roll:

Yes it was the winter ones, you were right. but the summer ones i bought quickly are already shooting forth first pair of main leaves.
And yeah im gonna experiment with the pak choi to find best growing times/conditions. ive got about 60000 seeds which i bought in thailand for about 10p so plenty of room for experimental errors!
