SQFT Spinach - how to store?

Hello, fellow Square Foot Gardeners.  I have been having fabulous success
with spinach in my garden.  I planted them 9 to a square as Mel recommends,
gave them lots of nitrogen, and have been rewarded with beautiful, shiny,
crinkly leaves that are just about ready to harvest.

Now the problem...I am now 8 weeks pregnant, and due to the accompanying
queasy tummy, have no desire to eat my bountiful harvest!  :-o  Could
someone please pass along some tips for successfully freezing my spinach so
I can enjoy it later when my "all-day" sickness subsides.  Do you blanch it
first?  Chop it or freeze whole?  Can I also freeze arugula, I have a
bumper crop of that as well.

Thanks and happy gardening,
Wendy Nibeck
