Why does this channel always inspire me to try that crop AGAIN that I’ve failed at multiple times in the past? Ok ok, I’ll try it again but if I fail I’m blaming Jacques
"Too hot? Bolt. Too close together? Bolt. Too acidic? Straight to bolt. Too many leaves? Believe it or not, bolt. Wind blowing west? Bolt, no trial."
I gave up on spinach due to the bolting and the low yields. Instead I've been allowing its wild cousin, lambs quarters, to grow in my garden. It pops up everywhere like a weed, it thrives in the heat of summer, it's far more pest and drought resistant, and it has the same nutritional profile as spinach. Plus the silvery leaves can be pretty. There are some decorative varieties that come in vibrant colors.
I planted mine in December and had a great harvest. Since then we had 6in of snow and ice! Now the snow is gone and the spinach is coming back!
I've realized that the temperatures are rarely in spinach's sweet spot for germinating where I live. I need to try starting them inside and transplanting them out.
The day length thing is a revelation - no wonder my spinach bolts so early - in Vancouver we have 13 hours by the beginning of April, but the soil and the air are still cool.
INCREDIBLY helpful as I was just about to plant some spinach and arugula. Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Thanks! Continuously planting is key to keeping a nice harvest (or go all in and freeze your yield 😁)
Super helpful thanks for the tips
I planted spinach in October. It survived through the winter, down to 0 degrees, and I harvested the spinach in March.
