… well not all of it.

The hotter weather has made the spinach bolt. So I picked the lot. It can still be used for cooking. So I gave a big try to a friend. I have a large bag in the fridge for Dave and I. And we all know, once cooked down, that large bag is probably just enough for the two of us for one meal.

Even the stems and flowers didn’t go to waste – a neighbour raises guinea pigs, so the went home with her as a treat for the piggies.

The pulled spinach also gives way for more light to get to my cucumber sprouts

They should really start taking off now.

And while the spinach bolted, the lettuce is still growing strong

I finally cracked the code on growing lettuce I think! I’m going to have to start giving some of this away too!

Sadly, my radishes have started to bolt as well

So they will get pulled. I don’t think the piggies will want them though.

Still, I’m not sad – they were just something to grow in that space until it was time for the zuchini

Which has sprouted nicely and is quickly putting on leaves!

Over in the carrot beds, things are not looking quite as good.

Both beds have very sparse germination. I got some more seeds to plant. I NEED carrots!!!!
