| This little spinach grew in spite of the hot wet summer. A second crop planted in early August yielded nice plants before the first frost in October. Several plants are wintering over. We will see what spring brings! |

| This cultivar is one of the best performers in Georgia. Not as quick to get going as Teton, but less troubled by soil organisms. Very disease free. |
