My spinach has bolted. As an amateur gardener, I was not expecting this to happen so quickly. Blame my ignorance. I planted my spinach probably four weeks ago now, before two snowstorms hit. And it hadn't got that big yet. (I guess I could have planted it earlier?) We didn't actually have that many hot days - just a few.
I discovered in my daily check of my garden yesterday that it had bolted, or gone to seed. So because I had company and we were having a nice grilled meal, I decided to harvest the spinach right away for a salad. Otherwise, as I've read, the spinach becomes bitter. I still have two spinach plants remaining, but I'm keeping a close eye on them.
