Hi everyone, I'm hoping that the forum can help me with aa dilemma. I'm im Zone 6 and plan to grow chinese broccoli and bok choi. In fact, I've started my seedlings this evening. Both packets advise against transplaning these due to their propensity to bolt. Help!! Transplanting is not a choice where I live. It's a necessity. Any suggestions on this would be greatly approciated. I'm sure that someone has had experience with transplanting these and hopefully had success. Thanks again Hilary Lee

hilary….one way to minimize bolting for seedlings started indoors is to gradually "harden them off" before placing them in your garden. The more gradual the temperature change the better. You might try putting them outside in a protected area for an hour a day, then 3 hours and so on. Sounds laborious, huh. Good Luck. Howard
