Sally--

This will be an experiment......I have never grown Spinach--and may never do it again...
Too bad my planting areas are so limited.....I think I would do a lot more experimenting.

I have always used this bed for Impatiens--as the Birch tree above shaded it. As it died over the Winter from 2007-2008--I had it cut down in the Spring of 2008.
I asked the man to leave me some short stumps so i could put some potted plants on there...
NO Impatiens this Summer there--but Dill and Spinach will rule! ....I hope so!

Trying to see if I can grow my Basil anywhere else other than the wood window box, on the ledge by my basement door,I have been growing them in. Have to put a fence and a "roof" all around these as well--as the squirrels will dig in there any time...
I just believe that anything planted in the earth will provide better plants---with all the heat we have here--the W-boxes get just as hot....and so do the roots...

Are you bracing for all the sleet and snow this weekend?

Here's the dead Birch last Spring.....
