MB>I've found spinach to be one of the trickiest veggies in the
MB>world to grow. Do you have some secrets?
Doris Dignard is better equiped to best answer this but as I
remember it likes a friable soil with a trace of sand to keep
it so, and likes cool damp spring weather best. I am going to
try the "Melody" strain Doris suggested.
Were you are; you might do better with a pseudo sprinach called
New Zealand spinach. It isn't a true spinach but will tolerate
the warm weather much better then true spinach. It isn't quite
as nice in a raw table salad; but quick steam cooked with some
raisens (and a little garlic if my wife isn't looking 8-) and
served as a hot plate veggie with some olive oil is great.
Ciao, Ack.
