here are my pak-choi this season, and they are lovely and seemed to be flowering.

To collect seeds, let the seed pods turn brown on the plant. 

The brown seed pods are collected, some popped open and you can see the black seeds.

I was "sing-sowing" seeds again yesterday and half the seeds fall off the container. I really hope there are few leftover for me this season.

i love this veggie, she easily grow on compost, and water, and I add them on stir fries.

The picture below is from Wikipedia, i hope one day this seed can give me treasure to photograph. Thank you to the owner who share it through the commons.
