You can pick spinach leaves any time there are some nice ones. It is good steamed or raw in a salad. Enjoy!

After it bolts you can let it go to seed, for seed for next year if you wish.

is there a way to can spinach

ok hubby wants me to make sure he can eat the leaves

the first picture I posted he wants to eat those leaves yet he said they do not look like spinach leaves LoL

That is definately spinach! And it looks good to harvest right now...I find that the leaves taste the best when small. As for bolting, they do look like they are getting tall and that has always been an indicator that they had only a short time left.
