Spinach Gone To Seed


Disaster! We love spinach in this house so this really is a disaster! The spinach has bolted. I'm quite disappointed by this, as I didn't get a single harvest from it. The plants had barely reached 3" tall. The seeds came free with a magazine, so I wont be buying that variety anytime soon.

I do have a pack of Spinach "Bordeaux" seeds. It looks quite nice with the purple veins through the leaves. Ill chance a sowing now, but I will leave the main sowing until August for a late harvest.

In the meantime I have some perpetual spinach ready to be planted, so hopefully it wont be too long before we get a harvest from that....
