Yes, the weather here in the Isle of Man GB, is pretty much the same as what you’re dealing with over the other side of the world! Desperately rubbish summer this year!
First time gardener! I just transplanted my spinach and romaine plants that I had purchased from Lowe's into my raised garden that I started from scratch. I was super proud...but I already managed to murder my romaine. I didn't even know what "bolt/ed" meant until I Googled "what is this strange milky substance leaking from my romaine"? Fingers crossed; I hope my spinach doesn't bolt! Fascinating video!
Thanks! Im a newbie gardener, but im really getting into it. Wish they taught this stuff in school! Your videos really help! New sub
Thanks for your comment. I hope you grow to love gardening. I agree with you: everyone should have a course on it in school. It’s a life skill not only a hobby.
Very helpful, thank you! I was blaming myself but you are right- its mother nature!
Exactly right, and every year is different too. On the bright side when the spinach starts bolting, it means that tomatoes and other summer veggies will start growing like crazy!
Great information. Thank you!❤
You are so welcome. Glad it was helpful
Very helpful thank you!
You’re welcome!
👍👍👍
Great and informative video!
Thank you ! Happy gardening🌱
She showed difference between male and female plants, what I was looking for. Thanks
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for your comment
My spinach was doing really well then th e leaves turned brown, it didn't bolt though, I dug it all up and started again... Oh dear I've been greedy 😱😭 great share thanks
Thanks for taking the time to comment. Hope your current crop is doing well. Happy gardening :-)
I was wondering what was going on!! I had NO IDEA how to grow spinach lol. This video is awesome!!! Thankyou Maam
Nature always throws up some crazy curveballs and bolting is one of them! Good luck with your next spinach crop! My accent is a bit of a mix I know. I actually lived next door (in Vermont) for a while, but I'm originally from the South and have now been living overseas for 17+ years!
@@NowGardening I love New England :) Thankyou again
Can I just pinch of the start of the seed heads?
that omelet though yummmy
It's kind of like the "when life give you lemons..." saying. When mother nature gives you bolting spinach, make an omelette 😉
Nice👍👍
Thanks 😊
Question ? Do you cut the spinach down or out completely when it’s bolted? Or will that same plant if I leave it alone bloom in the fall? First time spinach grower!
Great question! The bolted spinach will not regrow even if you cut it all the way down. However, bolted spinach will produce seeds that you can plant for your fall crop! I usually leave some of my bolting plants for seeds, but if I'm really short of space I'll put it all in the compost and plant a summer crop to take advantage of the heat!
Nice
Thank you 🪴
Can you please give the info about what type of the spinach in your video ?
Because we don't have the spinach like that in my country.
I believe the variety I was using at the time of the video was Winter Giant (spinacea oleracea).
Nice sharing dear 👌🙏💓💞m ur new subsc , stay connec. dear always
Thanks for stopping by again. Have a great weekend and happy gardening until next time!
what a nice
Thanks, Mohammed 😊

Will a shade net work in summer?
Hi Jenevive. Thanks for your question. In my experience, shading can help delay bolting but it doesn't prevent it once the outside temperatures get too high. Most gardeners turn to spinach alternatives like Malabar spinach if they want to keep a crop going all summer in hot climates. Also, depending on where you live, you might be able to plant a fall crop like me of regular spinach. I hope this helps!
One of my spinach plants is bolting but I literally transplanted it a week ago not sure what to do with it.🤷🏿♂️
There’s nothing really you can do once it starts to bolts. Spinach is easily triggered by a sudden heatwave, too much light, and even dry conditions. Fortunately, it germinates quickly (approx. 5 days), so you can direct sow another batch if your conditions are right. I have both a crop of bolted spinach (planted in fall) and a new crop of thriving spinach (planted in spring) in my garden right now. Good luck!
Hi good night
All my cucumber and bitter melon flower fall off any advice please.
The first flowers are the male flowers and it's normal for them to bloom and then fall off. Some say it's the plant's way of attracting pollinators to it. As long as your plants are getting enough water & sunlight, you shouldn't worry. Hope this helps!
Thanks you ❣️ this helps I don't have to worry with I did wrong
@@kavitagurdat9442 You're welcome. Hope you get an abundant harvest !
Thanks. I just want to know if I can cut the entire top of spinach of, where it's a out to flower, will the bottom continue to produce or will it croak?? 😂😂😂😂😂Please❤❤❤❤
Even if you cut off the flowering part, normally the spinach leaves will be starting to taste bitter. The spinach won’t die from cutting the flower off though. I do this sometimes with other greens to get one more harvest (even if it’s not the best taste!)
@@NowGardening Thank you
This is not what to do when Spinach bolts. Missing is - what to do when Spinach bolts.I'm sure you understand.
Did not know there were male and female spinach plants!
Isn’t it fascinating? Plants have so many secrets for us to discover!
This is 2022 they're probably non-binary finish plants
Well it regrow with the seeds on it I don’t have a male plant I just have a female
Spinach is wind-pollinated. If you had male plants but removed them or your neighbor has spinach growing, your female plant might have already been pollinated. If I were you, I would test a few seeds after harvesting them. If they don't grow, then you'll know that you need to buy new seeds instead of planting ones that don't grow next season! Hope this helps
Weirdest weather ever in Regional Victoria, Australia
I’m in Idaho we are having extreme heat 99 degrees and then it drops to 78 my plants are very attention driven lol
