Burscough, Lancashire, UK. 26th June, 2017. EU Nationals harvesting spinach. The farms & farmers consistently rely on a large number of immigrant, migrant & Eu Nationals workers to assist in the labour intensive planting, weeding and harvesting of salad crops, and whose employment remains in some doubt as negotiations start over Brexit. Britain's food vegetable production depends on seasonal migrant labour from the EU. Credit; MediaWorldImages/AlamyLiveNews
When you harvest spinach, it will grow back for continuous harvests. By picking the right leaves at the right time, the plants will keep sending up new foliage which should harvested in the morning or evening to avoid the hottest part of the day, which will wilt the leaves. Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) is one of the most widely grown vegetables in temperate climates around the world. It is derived from a leafy, winter annual that evolved in and near the Fertile Crescent of the Middle East. Winter annuals are plant species that germinate in the cool of the fall and grow vegetatively until the short days and cold of winter slow their growth.
