In the past I've always had problems with lettuce/spinach/bok choi
bolting way too soon . So this year I decided to plant them a lot
earlier than I have in the past . The envelopes say "as soon as the soil
is workable" so ... today I planted lettuce , spinach , bok choi , and
beets . Last frost date is about 6-7 weeks out , we'll see how this works .

I tried to do a late crop of spinach here in Seattle once which grew to
2-3 inch plants before the grow season ended. We must have had a mild
winter, because it was still alive in the spring. I transplanted it to a sunnier bed, and it grew like gangbusters. It grew into gigantic plants,
maybe 15 inches or more tall with 6-8 inch leaves.

I've done a lot of tree removal work to get full sun at least most of
the day ... and I might take out a couple more trees this year . At
least the trees are oak and make good firewood .
