spinach standing taller--bolting?
We've had 2-3 days now of 90 degree humid weather. I got to pay
attention to the garden when I came home tonight and noticed the older spinach was standing rather tall and upright. Is this bolting? I considered harvesting it, but I wouldn't be eating it till thurdsday night and I prefer to harvest when I'm going to use it.

Yep, it's turning quite bitter tasting now, time to pull it and throw it in the compost pile. -- Ann, gardening in Zone 6a South of Boston, Massachusetts e-mail address is not checked ****************************** |

If you can't stand throwing so much away, it's still good if used to stuff
chicken breasts or pork chops, if you balance the taste with something sort of sweet or mellow, like brie cheese. "Ann" wrote in message ...
