this is my first year of growing pak-choi and have just read that they dont transplant very well!!     has anyone had any success transplanting or should I just not bother?

I transplant mine and have had no problem with them

I am growing the F1 variety Yuushou, as I did last year.  They were grown in modules and planted out in a cold frame.  They look exactly like the picture on the packet, (plus a few slug nibbles) and we have just started eating them. Excellent!

I have never managed to grow other varieties without them bolting.

I've transplanted mine several times at various stages of growth (shifting stuff round in the raised beds) with no probs.
Was pretty impressed that a latish sowing lasted through the winter.
At the moment I'm overrun with it so better get the wok out! (Nice as baby leaf too....)

I grew rosette pak choi last year from plants raised from seed and then planted into two large tubs. They were fab

Transplanting has been fine for me in the past.

oh thanks what a relief!! I have about 20 plants to transplant (expecting some casualties) just goes to show you can't always believe the experts!!

Perhaps the "experts" meant you can't dig up and move when you thin from a seed bed?

What you (and I) do is to plant out from pots or cells which generally causes far less disturbance... hopefully.
