Didn't have anything to cover it from pests. Apparently from what I've read, I can try to plant a new batch of Bokchoy from seedlings in late summer? Hopefully that works. I've also got some tatsois that I've been regularly checking for pests morning and night, no row cover, got some few holes but not as much as these. Is it necessary to check everyday for pests or any other day? Thank you for your help in advance

Try planting some strong-smelling herbs like cilantro or garlic near your bok choy next time - they can help repel the bugs that love to munch on brassicas and you wont need to check as obsessivley for pests.

Don't have any cilantro atm but we do have nasturtiums if that could help the tatsois we have growing perhaps? Thank you.
