My hu...Sandi,<br />Thanks to your brother for the info.<br /><br />My husband (the true gardener) showed me the little white worms underneath the white spots and I just tore that part of the leaf off, however, I am now only eating the perfect leaves because I am grossed out that I ingested some little leafminer worms!<br /><br />Thanks again! I will pass on the info to the head grower (my husband).<br Stacey Snackshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08957289962927855954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565804864045167406.post-7918331142499595092013-05-28T19:02:09.245-04:002013-05-28T19:02:09.245-04:00Re you spinach/leafminer problem: My brother, Kal ...Re you spinach/leafminer problem: My brother, Kal and his wife, Linda, live off the grid in Maine and survive year-round off the fruits of their large organic garden - (and vegetables, of course).

I was outside all yesterday, and already had my morning walk today, and didn't see a one. Hmmm. Funny, my middle son John turns 17 tomorrow! Looking forward to the recipes - your random bites in the photo with the marble slab look fantastic. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
