    Hi all,

    I presume this means my Spinach has bolted? (see piccy).
    Should I dig it up and plant another seed?

    Certainly looks that way, plant some more by all means, not too late, but keep picking the flowering bit as they will sometimes settle down & get on with producing leaves.

      As Zigs says, just nip off the flower, you should get a few more leaves. Once they try to flower it's a job to stop them. It's good to sow in succession, what I do is sow another tray every time I plant them out, that way I get them through the growing season.
