Spinach, Day 26


Spinach

The spinach is finally beginning to show signs of life now that cooler weather is here. During the recent hot weather these plants went limp and appeared to be treading the line between life and death. With cooler temperatures, the spinach has perked up and is doing much better. To help it through the remaining hot weather, it now hangs out under the canopy of tomato plants, which provides excellent shade. The seed packet says that within about 45 days the plant should be ready for harvest. It'll probably take a bit longer considering how much the hot weather slowed its growth. However long it takes, it'll be worth it.
