Seeded into cold frames late April (a little late but hey, we were busy), hardened off "in situ" by the removal of the frame a few weeks ago, and now, harvested and eaten this fine, sunny June 6th. All told about 5ish weeks from seed to table. Not too shabby for a west coast girl who's still learning to be a prairie girl...
7 years ago, our family of 7 moved to a small home on the prairie. Our goals were lofty - to live frugally, become more self reliant, grow as much of our food as we could (sourcing the rest locally), and in general, learn to live in a more sustainable way. In an exciting twist of life events, we recently moved "home" to the coast and are adapting our lives and goals to a completely different climate and landscape. Join us as we continue on our journey!

First Spinach
