Spinach patch
Hi
last year we planted spinach on the allotment, some of which went to seed. This year we have a vigorous, healthy self-seeded patch of spinach. My question is should we leave the spinach where it is and so have a permanent spinach patch, rather like rhubarb? Are there any drawbacks to this? Thanks for any feedback.

Is this real spinach or Leaf Beet? Leaf Beet self seeds like this, and can be transplanted as long as you take enough soil to avoid root disturbance. If the tap root get too much disturbance they tend to bolt instead of producing lots of leaf, and flowering the next year. |
