For the Love of Popeye

My spinach seeds germinated wonderfully. I’m guessing I had about a 90% germination rate, which is great. When the plants grow a little bigger, I’ll use the thinnings as baby spinach – yum yum.
Hopefully these will mean delicious spinach salads late into fall and if I mulch it well, we’ll be able to eat spinach very early next spring. I’ll keep you posted.
Anyone else growing winter greens?

Our spinach never gets any taller than this. One plant got a leggy set of true leaves, then it died, that was our best one :(

What a great photo! I can’t wait to eat my spinach.

Do you have a picture of your winter beds? Are they hot beds or cold frames, or another design? I would love to see your set up for your fall crops, including carrots, right?

Right now the beds are just regular old raised beds. We’re going to be building some cold frames to put on top of them for winter. Those will go over the carrots & spinach. Then in the summer we can just take them off and put them in the garage till next fall. I’ll try to take a few photos of all the beds.
