I’m finally planting tonight and I noticed this morning my spinach is bolting already. I have no clue why because it’s been frigid. I plant another round in the fall that does much better anyway so I’ll plan for that.

Mine started bolting a couple weeks ago. It’s all cut back now

Yeah but why? It doesn’t make sense. It hasn’t been warm enough and I’ll get only one harvest. It’s odd to me and mine is bolt resistant. I have much better luck with a fall planting so I may stop spring planting or do another variety in spring I love spinach so I’d like it to work. I know light hours have something to do with it bolting so I can only assume it’s how many hours of light there is that’s causing it.

I keep mine in the shade. It only gets a couple hours a day of sun but it still bolted. Not all at once so I got probably 4 cuttings all together. I got one last small cutting today that was just enough to go with dinner

I got about half done maybe 3/4 done. Spent a lot of time harvesting Asian jumping worms and killing them. Mani have tons of them and that’s not good. I’m getting what I can now before they lay eggs or cocoons as they are called.
Just as I finished planting I went in the house and not 10 minutes later a ground hog came and ate all my broccoli again. I now caged off all my seedlings and grow bags. Jerk

Groundhog is a fine meal

Not where I live. Bastard only comes once every week or two so I’m even having trouble live trapping him I’ve only seen him 3 times this spring and twice he got dinner me.

Almost all my stuff is planted and most of my seedlings are in their final home. I will plant a few more peppers of others don’t take them because I have the space.
