We started our pak choi in the polytunnel in compost and planted them
out a few weeks ago,to our dismay they are now spindly and about 2 ft
tall,before we try again can anyone advise on what we have done
wrong,should we have planted direct into soil rather than compost,many
thanks

You sowed them far too early in the year. All 'Chinese' vegetable should
be sown in July. Otherwise they bolt, as you have found.
