Once spinach sends up flower stalks, its leaves become tasteless or bitter, making it inedible. You have a few options when spinach begins to bolt, such as pulling it up immediately and planting a warm-season crop in its place. You can plant a new spinach crop after the hot weather ends in fall.

Does bolted spinach regrow?

ANSWER: As long as the growing point is not damaged during the initial harvesting and the weather is still cool, spinach plants will most likely regrow for two or more harvests.

How do you pick spinach so it will grow back?

Spinach regenerates its leaves from their growing point, which is the crown of the plant where the stems join the root system very near to the soil's surface. When harvesting, use a pair of scissors or garden shears to cut the spinach leaves back to within 2 inches of the ground.
