various of the veg have responded to conditions by BOLTING & i don't think i
can bring them back.

If you work it out, please let us know. Last weekend we nominated a
patch of spinach up the back to be allowed to bolt to replentish the
seed stock.

This weekend,the larger patch that was busy producing copious nice
leaves is now bolting full time. Our Italian neighbour complained the
stalks are now too large (he only eats the stalk part), but we can still
find tender leaf.

Still plenty of spinach for us, but that will makes yet another large
plot to be soon turned over and prepared for replanting. The lettuce
went fron nice to yuk and bolted a last week as well.


Reminds me, time to plant more coriander.

The worst part about collecting your own seed is that is just seems to
take so long for it to fully form.
