Used individual pastry cases rather than one large shell and it worked well as we could top the 8 pies with jalapenos, salsa, various cheeses - whatever struck our fancy.

We always leave the market with more than we can eat, but are timid when it comes to greens and freezers.

I garden on the coast of Maine and because your season is maybe 2 weeks ahead of ours, your blog has become my go-to source for what's next. I loved the food storage post, very helpful. I always, always come away with helpful tips. And because like you, I'm mostly gardening for 2, with abundance going to the neighbors or the root cellar or freezer, everything seems so pertinent.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08141319143775128468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-4200697568384474982014-06-07T08:28:22.018-04:002014-06-07T08:28:22.018-04:00I started my spinach in soil blocks spring.

I have tried many times to grow it and every time it just bolts. I don't understand why, because I have tried several different varieties, at different times of the year, and I have been very careful with watering. I have given up now, because Jane doesn't like it and it doesn't seem worth persevering when there are lots of other nice veg I can grow much more successfully. That Spinach Pie looks fab, by the way.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-85395439765614746512014-06-06T23:10:41.072-04:002014-06-06T23:10:41.072-04:00That's one green that I never get enough from ...That's one green that I never get enough from plantings.

After the spinach were well underway, I realized that I forgot to add chicken manure when I prepped the spinach area. Hopefully this is the problem as that is something that can be easily fixed for my next go round.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-46789958245796870102014-06-06T19:16:25.622-04:002014-06-06T19:16:25.622-04:00Thank you so much.
