Greetings garden lovers,
It's just the first week of June, and it's raining, so it's a good sign that I decided to remove and clean the area where I planted my spinach to replace them with new ones.
I have benefited from this vegetable plant for more than two years, but now I think it needs to be replaced because the leaves now are not in very good shape and the branches are old already.
However, it still produces a good supply for needs but I know they should have been improved because as you can see they produce so many seeds which also indicates that my spinach is already aged.
A month ago I decided to clean the area where my spinach is. During my clear up I was a pity to disturb this tenant that occupies the place but I'm sorry I need to let him go and just evacuate to another place.
I started clearing the place but harvested the last batch of spinach I have and the next step is to collect good seeds that I have to save for the replacement soon. Then I begin pulling out their stems one by one and to be honest I was having a hard time because their roots made them hold strong to the ground but anyway I successfully made my task.
For the good ones, I wrapped them with banana leaves to extend their freshness and store it in the fridge for future use.
Safety-first enemies are just near around 😅🐔🐓.*
Now the most recent update on the area is that I replaced them with eggplants but some seeds that were left made out on their own so as of this moment I just let them be there and since it was raining for days this week I will just transfer them to another place when I can go home soon.
So that's all for me today guys. Hopefully, you find this interesting since I believe some of us have different varieties of spinach from what I've learned here in HIVE as well😁.
Take care and be safe all the time.
Happy Gardening 🧡💛💚
Laica, this is really interesting. So you let the Spinach just grow out and go to seed, continually using the new shoots and leaves and keeping the seeds? I've never seen Spinach grown like that nor have i seen those seeds.
Excellent post and best wishes to you and your family as always :-)
PS I have the same problem with my Father in Laws chickens!! damn things
Shoots are fine but using seeds is much better for me because I find them live longer than using shoots. Nevertheless, may they just have the same abilities but it is just me who thinks seeds are better 😅. Chicken now is my best enemy when my plants are still young but when it's fully grown it will be the stray cows 😵. Anyway, thank you so @nathen007 you've been always supportive of me and I do appreciate that 💝.
Hope and pray that you'll have good health always with your family.

@esther-emmanuel thanks you 😊.
Oh wow, those are the spinach seeds? I don't believe I've ever seem them before. I thought they were some kind of berry at first glance!
Good luck on the next generation and keeping the chickens at bay until the plants grow big enough to withstand them. ;)
Yes, those are spinach seeds. They look so amazing and before we use to play with them and use them as our manicures 😁.
Thank you for wishing me luck I already transferred most of them hopefully chicken won't see it.
