Chinensis varieties do not form heads like lettuce; instead, they have smooth, dark green leaf blades forming a cluster reminiscent of mustard or celery. You can either harvest the exterior leaves as needed or wait until your choi is mature to harvest the whole plant. For baby types like this we love harvesting them as whole heads because they’re so cute and mini even when fully grown, and you can cut the plant in half lengthwise and treat the tender halves like little vegetables in the kitchen. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBok Choi and other asian greens are easy crops to grow in south florida gardens, as they don't mind the heat and mature quickly for early harvest.
