outdoor spinach

[Suaz]

Sorry, no, I’m talking about spinach and lettuce growing on an allotment bed outside. The spinach were sown 3 seeds to a module in early March and planted out in April. They are now grown to the point where the outer leaves are nearly touching. The lettuces are much smaller but they seem to be going through a growth spurt in the last few days. I checked the lettuces today and thankfully they seem unaffected by the mildew. Phew! I think I might try the chamomile and milk spray suggested by James Wong in Homegrown Revolution. However, I read elsewhere that this works best in full sun and there are showers forecast for tomorrow.
