it wasn’t as bad as i feared in the end. the lettuces weren’t bolting, they were just rising up a bit more than usual, i panicked and thought they were on their way to flower!
the pak choi, mizuna and salad rocket is finishing now, which is earlier than last year (late spring both years and we’re high in the cold pennines) – i think i stressed it with too little water at planting time and in feb.
it’s useful to know that it’s not the warm winter that caused it after all.
i find franchi pak choi very good. i might give joi choi a try then.
spinach ‘gigantic’ has been excellent, i’ll never go back to regular size spinach !
