Digging Out Spinach

Today we dug out some of last years spinach. It has over wintered surprisingly well and we were able to get a few salad leaves from the plant we dug out.

There are still a few plants left, but we will have to have these out soon as we have set some spinach seeds for the new crop.

You can see that it takes a lot of effort to dig it out as the root is quite thick for something that gives such delicate leaves.
