    Hi, I bought these plants as Gai Lan. But I was expecting to grow the short stalks that you get at dim sum :-) Anyhow my Gai Lan is starting to flower. Do I treat it like other brocolli and cut down the plant now? Any other hints?

    I'd be treating it like Broccoli, myself. To get the short Gai Lan stalks used in Dim-Sum, the plant needs to be grown in full sun.
