oh baby, baby - salad greens in my garden!

I planted some baby spinach in a container today. First I soaked  the punnet of seedlings in a seaweed solution overnight to help them get through transplantation shock, and then I planted them into a container filled with out lovely compost. The best of all starts any seedling could hope for, in my opinion!

For baby spinach,  I will harvest a few leaves from each plant by pinching off the bigger leaves right at the base of the plant, leaving the smallest leaves to grow a little longer. I adore spinach in a mixed green leaf salad and have wanted to plant some for awhile now, but the weather has been too hot and if I had planted it, no doubt the plants would have bolted and not grown the lovely lush leaves I craved.


Now it is just wait and grow...
