Default Questions regarding spinach which I think has gone to seed, picture included

Hi again everyone, just to remind you again that I'm a complete beginner, this is only my second year gardening. I don't even fully understand the term 'gone to seed' however my spinach plants have grew long and spindley & I spotted some seedlike things close to the tops of the plants. Last year I had great success with 'perpetual spinach' in fact it was so successful I ended up with far too much spinach, this year I planted a variety called 'bordeaux.' Is there nothing I can do for the plants at this point, should they just be disposed of? Also would it be too late to plant a few 'perpetual' spinach plants, as they can thrive well into the winter. Any advice is very welcome.
