Spinach

I planted spinach seeds, along with many others, on March 25 in a raised bed covered with a cloche. I just harvested enough of that spinach for one serving, which I sauteed for myself with some fresh basil-spiked scrambled eggs and home-made bread. I started making my whole wheat no-knead bread recipe with whole spelt flour instead of whole wheat flour because Jake's trying to eat less wheat, but that's a story for another post. The bottom line: it took roughly 42 days to get from seeds to harvest.  On another note, if anyone's wondering about my potatoes - the vines continue to grow and I had to "mound" more soil around them today. I'll keep you posted!
