We harvested our Bok Choy today. They grew to be much larger than what is found at the store. I think they bind them up when they're young and harvest them before they get "leafy".

The image below is what Bok Choy often looks like when it's on display at the grocery store:

Ours looks more like a houseplant!

A single stem shows a nice white and firm stem, which is the desirable part of the plant. It's often used in asian style soups.

The harvest is great, but we have a lot of washing and dividing to do before we're able to blanch and freeze the stems and leaves.

Bok Choy is very healthy, which is why we are growing and incorporating it into our diets.

Bok choy contains a wide variety of vitamins and minerals. It’s particularly high in vitamins C and K. It also offers some fiber, an important nutrient for overall health. Bok choy is rich in antioxidants that may offer benefits for thyroid function and heart and bone health. They may even have anticancer properties.

Here's to good health from the backyard to the dinner plates!

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.
