Last Avalanche of Overwintered Spinach

It’s now June and I’m still getting bulging plastic grocery bags full of last fall’s spinach — and big freezer baggies of red leaf lettuce — out of my little plot. The spinach and lettuce survived the frigid winter, as well as the shock of getting pulled up and transplanted to my new plot in the Garden RUN Community Garden. They have yielded a continuous harvest of spinach clippings since March. The plants have been taking turns bolting for the last month or so.  A few of the spinach plants have still barely begun to bolt.  I clip them as soon as they start to shoot up, before they turn woody, when they’re still tender and sweet. Guess I’m going to have to make an extra-spinachy batch of my favorite curry, and use my other old favorite spinach recipes that I’ve posted on my Seasonal Chef web site.
