| Leaves are darker green than bloomsdale long standing. It is not the best spinach, just average. It has ok taste, no aroma, texture is ok. I gave 2 stars to ease/reliability, because it needs great amount of woodash to make the soil sweet, some peat moss to loosen the clay/sand soil. basically, it needs extra work. |
