Oriental Spanach-has anyone grown this?
« on: July 17, 2010, 19:16:36 »
I was in Wyvale today where all seeds are being sold at 50% off and I bought some Spinach seeds called Mikado Oriental. The package states that this spinach is disease and bolt resistant and can be sown in August.
Does this taste like regular spinach?

Duke, it is a well   known spinach, one of several that can be used all summer as it is slow to bolt. Has a reall good yeild as it produces side shoots.
It is just a regular spinach.Leaves are a bit bigger and pointed.
