Last year I had Swiss Chard coming out my ears... This year it is spinach! I planted it in succession, every couple of weeks starting April 25. (Yes, I know we hadn't officially started planting...) It has been growing really well in the cool (until this week) weather. I started harvesting it at the beginning of June - now my first plants are just about to bolt, and my last row is starting to produce (shown here with some volunteer dill trying to hog the limelight). I picked a large grocery bag full last night. Home grown spinach sure beats the stuff from the store - thick and crunchy leaves and great flavour. I planted Bloomsdale Long Standing this year. Has anyone tried any other varieties? How do they compare?
