All you have to do is click on the red button at the bottom of the video to subscribe for free so today I'm going to show you one, guess what it is
This is about two meters tall and this is a spinach just one
This spinach is very old, it's a spinach over the winter, and the seeds on it, it's dense with seeds, I estimate there are thousands of seeds.
When we grow spinach we usually start with seeds and spinach is a green leafy vegetable that likes cold climate.
I've done videos on spinach growing before and if you're interested you can click on the link in the upper right corner of the screen and today
I'm going to tell you three things you probably didn't know about growing spinach
The first is the cold resistance of spinach. Last winter,
In November and December, we planted several kinds of cool green leafy vegetables from seeds
There was a long cold spell in December, when temperatures were
It was in the minus tens, and it lasted for a while, in the simple greenhouse we put up
Among several leafy greens, this spinach is particularly cold hardy,
Like what about the other vegetables like cilantro and lettuce and mustard greens
Lettuce and these are unfortunately not able to withstand the cold snap
The low temperature is more than minus ten degrees, but this spinach, even if it is still a seedling state, it still survived, this is really
It's hard to imagine. On the surface, this spinach looks like it's frostbitten
It's like we put this green leafy vegetable in the freezer, take it out, and the leaf rots
But the roots were not bad, and after a while, when the temperature was warmer, the spinach continued to grow.
Like this one in my vegetable patch, this spinach with seeds, it was just a little sprout last December, and it just kept going
There was some other spinach around, and we picked them all and ate it, leaving this one for seed
The second is the variety of spinach, some spinach, especially easy to bolt
That's when it grows like this one month , two months...
It starts to bolt and bloom, and the main stem starts to grow, and some of the varieties, like the one I planted last year with the big round leaf,
It says on the packet that it's slow bolting type, so you might want to look on the back of the packet when you're choosing a variety
Slow bolting that will increase your harvest time
The third is the collection of spinach seeds my spinach is from last December began to plant
Up to now it has been more than half a year, and this variety is slow bolting one.
You can see that this one has grown very tall about two meters tall and its seeds
It ripens slowly from the bottom up. And actually this one
There are some side branches, I cut it off just one, and it grows out, a lot of side branches coming out of the bottom
I left the tallest main stem in the middle
So just on this one stem, I've probably counted thousands of seeds
So if we're going to keep the seeds, we'll just keep one, I think, like my spinach,
It is so tall that I use a clip to hold it on or it will fall over
And this spinach will take at least half a year to harvest its seeds
I have this one that went through the winter and if it was planted in the spring that's definitely longer
It will take more than half a year to receive the seeds and now it's early July in my vegetable patch
There's also some spinach that has sprouted so this spinach can be grown all year round
As long as the temperature is right for you, I can also plant spinach in summer because the temperature here is not high in summer. I can obviously feel these
Spinach seedlings are growing up. Well, today I would like to share with you the experience of planting spinach
