The apple tree the moose munched on a couple weeks ago looks like it might survive. Harvested all the bokchoy and gave away 1/2 at the senior center. My spinach was the best I’ve ever tasted, I’m still picking leaves off as they get big enough.

Arugula wants to bolt but I keep it at bay, so far, by pinching off the bigger stalks. Still lots of good tender leaves for awhile. Started picking kale and swiss chard this week. Beets are up. Took the walls of water off the tomatoes yesterday. Beans and peas are leaping up, ready to grab onto their guiding strings. Pumpkin is spreading out, I’ll need to thin out a few plants.

Garlic looks great. Potatoes are starting to flower. Just starting to get warm here in Montana, 90’s coming next week; things should really start to take off.

So would you share you secrets for the spinach. What is the name of the seeds, where did you get them, and what sort of soil and growing conditions? Thanks
