This year we had a fair amount of spinach. It was tender enough for salads (uncooked) in the early season. But as the heat increased the leaves toughen. But they were still tender enough to to be eaten spasely cooked in Indian dishes.

The best harvesting season lasted about 3 weeks in June

Reaching a thier end. The big plant in the middle is a Squash plant growing in the spinach patch, probably seeded itself from the compost
