Wintered over spinach

Stamped: 9:39 AM


Last fall, I read a tip in Organic Magazine about planting a fall crop of spinach and wintering it over.

Well, the Northeast bed is now exposed and I'm happy to report, all is well. I did not mulch the spinach as directed, as I was not expecting the several feet of snow we have had since December.

This bed was the former owner's perennial bed. This year it will contain melons and peas. Its soil is the poorest of the 4 beds by far.
