Hi can anyone help me identify this vegetable please? I think it might be Perpetual Spinach but am not sure as I planted lots of different seeds and have lost the labels. I also planted Pak Choi and from the images I have seen it could be any!! Many thanks

It's definitely a bok choi (bok choy, pak choi, pac choi; however you want to spell it). There was another very recent post regarding them that has some pics (linked below).

You can tell it's pac choi because of the thick white stems and spoon shaped leaves. It looks beautiful.
