Spinach.

Here is another picture I took yesterday at the plot. This time it is the spinach I planted in early May.

As you can see it has grown well and is coming on nicely. At this stage you can pick it for salads if you wish, or you can let it grow on for more mature flavours where you can shred and steam it.

As you can see the slugs have not touched it so far. Perhaps they don’t like the taste, but at least one thing is slug free on the plot.

This is the shot before I weeded around them. It’s best to get the small weeds out now as they just rake out, rather than leaving them until their roots have gone deeper and they are harder to get out.
