My Spinach is Up!

Sometimes being behind schedule pays.

I looked in the garden today and found this! Yep! My spinach is green and about two inches tall.

I wish I could say it is part of my grand gardening plan. Instead, it's a result of spending too much time with Border collies and sheep. While I was at Border collie trials in the fall, I wasn't preparing my garden for winter.

I left my wire fences in the garden.

I neglected to pick my spinach.

And, because of the fencing, no rabbits or chickens could eat my spinach. And, underneath the snow, my spinach was patiently waiting for the melt.
