@liuzhou Looks great, as usual.  That baby bok choi doesn't look like how I'm used to seeing it - the stems seem too narrow.  It looks sort of like a baby yu choi.  I'd love to know more about this.

 

The nomenclature for Chinese greens is a minefield, and varies from place to place.

 

Can you point me to an image of what you know as baby bok choy?

 

Yu choi is Cantonese. The Mandarin is 油菜 yóu cài (literally 'oil vegetable') and is rape, the origin of rapeseed oil or Canola.
