Last week we had our second cold snap of the season, with the weather going down into the low 30's. I covered my veggies with sheets, and everything survived quite well. This is the first I've been in Florida when the weather has been so cool.

Spinach
I planted a row of Spinach, Bloomsdale, Long Standing seed in the same container as the lettuce. The seed is a packet I found at Lowe's from Ferry Morse. It is described as a richly flavored spinach that is slower to bolt than other Bloomsdale types.
It says it is ready to harvest in 45 days, and can be planted from September thru April in Florida. I'm somewhat sketpical of those dates - Since its a cool weather plant I wanted to get it in early in. It was planted on Sunday, January 18, and the first leaves appeared on Monday, January 26.
I'm looking forward to a spinach salad, omelet, quiche.
