I have planted a dozen or so pak choi plants, but they seem to be being eaten alive. lots of tiny holes in the leaves..

trying to go as organic as possible,..

is it not worth growing them unless you spray or am I at the wrong time of year,

what would you suggest?

I could be wrong on this, but most Chinese veggies prefer cool weather, so it your temps are getting warm and dry now.......

They are probably being eaten by flea beetles. Try covering them with fleece to keep them off.

Bloomin' flea beatles, I wish I knew a cure. I have to grow Chinese cabbage & pak choi in the greenhouse if I want anything edible

I'm with Trillium.  I reckon whatever you do to save them will be wasted when they bolt.  I'd try sowing in late summer / early autumn

thanks for that, flea beatle it is then.

Is there no cure for flea beatles..

I'll let the ones I currently have in the greenhouse grow on in their then have a stir fry with the tender plants.

and try again when it cools down a bit.
