Rip it out if it is true spinach and not beat leaf.

last year, I was clearing some spinache that had bolted. I sliced the plants off at ground level with a spade and left the roots in. 2 weeks later, they had sprouted new leaves and I got a second (small) harvest off them

if you make a few sowing over the summer then you will get a longer season to harvest also it depends on the variety and if it is true spinach or spinach beet, i have had it last well into the winter months.
