Some of it ended up in lentil soup, and the rest got frozen.  And while I was doing that, I discovered that the spinach plant that came up late and in a strange place is actually a Swiss chard from last year&#8217;s seed (all the chard sprouted and then died). So I planted more chard where the spinach was, and birds or squirrels have dug up most of those seeds already. If I&#8217;m lucky they&#8217;ll leave me one or two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The garden has been doing much better this year than last year, even the things like lettuce where I just used last year&#8217;s seeds.
