We had baby bok choi stir-fry this week from our garden. It was like heaven to eat fresh greens after a long winter of frozen stuff and grocery-store lettuce. They were the perfect size and with very little bug damage. Last year we had a problem with flea-beetles, and had to spray with insecticidal soap. But this year we started out with them under the row-cover and, while there were a few holes here and there, they were basically untouched. I also think they were fuller and healthier. Hard to tell if that is because our soil is more built up than last year, because of the row cover, or because of the sulfur that we added. Whatever it was, they are very tasty! We feel like we have been chlorophyll deficient during the winter--though we did have plenty of frozen pesto and chard...there still is nothing like the first fresh greens out of the garden. :)
