About This Video

In this video I’m showing y’all a quick Florida garden move—get your fast leafy greens in before that real heat shows up. I’m thinning and transplanting pak choi (bok choy) out of a crowded cluster and putting them into cleaner rows so they’ve got space to size up. The key today is the weather: it’s about 1:00 PM, but it’s overcast with a little drizzle, and that’s perfect for transplanting because these greens are soft and they’ll stress hard in full sun. I also pull lettuce from a bed that’s loaded with lettuce and amaranth seedlings, and I tuck the lettuce right in between the pak choi rows. I’m not out here with perfect spacing—I eyeball it so the leaves can open up and catch light, and I like crops growing together because I don’t run dedicated beds for everything. From my experience, you’re looking at roughly 40–65 days from transplant for lettuce and pak choi, and you want to push them now because lettuce will bolt once it warms up. Along the way I’m harvesting beets and clearing space, plus I get surprised with a cabbage harvest. End of April into early May, these cool-season crops need to be out, and then I pivot the beds to the next wave. God bless y’all and cheers.
