The weather has been getting cooler and our bed of New Zealand Spinach really perked up. It looked so this past weekend good that we decided to harvest the new growth and blanch/freeze it for soups and such this winter.
The spinach got a little bitter in the dog days of summer but it never bolted. Now that it is cooling again the leaves are definitely sweeter.
The spinach was so thick with new growth that we used hedge clippers to harvest.
The picking process was a bonus for others as well
This bed has been producing since May and our plan is to put a cold frame cover on it and keep it going.
“I’m strong to the finish, cause I eats me spinach”
