Hi Penny in Halifax,
Did you get to eat any of the Bright Lights? If so how does the taste compare to regular spinach?

I believe I tried a slower bolting one which fits your description last year and was not as pleased with it as my regular ones. Think I got it from Maine. I tried the bright lights this year too (still lots left in the garden) and wasn't as impressed with this one either. It has been really attached with some type of bug or slug eating away at the leaves.
