The weather here in northern Indiana has been wonderful. Lots of rain and warm days.

I have -more than I know what to do with- lettuce and spinach in my garden. Does anyone out there freeze spinach and what is the process?

I just put in a second round of spinich this morning. I’m considering growing some in pots over the winter.

Wash in several changes of water and remove stems. Blanch 2 minutes, avoid matting leaves. Drain and cool. Pack into plastic freezer boxes, leaving 1/2 inch head space, label and freeze (per the Ball Blue Book).
