    KK-- Thanks for your nice words, mate. The processing of the Pak Choi:
    First I wash it and remove soil and slugs if there is any.

    I blanch them for ~2 minutes, rinse them and cool them off rapidly.

    Next I cut the leaves into "ribbons" or small rectangles.

    I then press them lightly to get rid of as much water as possible and then bag them and chuck 'em into the freezer....and Bob's yer uncle.

    Thank you so much, Ware, You say the nicest things, meid.

    Thanks BEEKER--I am so delighted that you can learn something from my posts. That is an honour.

    GREEN F-- Thanks for your comments. Yes, it has been terribly busy here. I am really pleased that you like my garden.

    Hey Hum-- Glad that you liked the posting. I guess that it broke-up your day at work a little. :)
    Harvesting honey is the next task for the garden.
