Spinach is harder to grow than many other ‘leafy greens’ but it is well worth the effort Weeding and mulching the area can help to keep the conditions cool and moist for the spinach (and reduce its competition).

Derek,

Thanks for sharing this.

My wife & I have been long looking for tips on container Spinach gardening since we lived in a small apartment. We didn’t lots of hot temp in Vancouver. so I must say Spinach is a good choice I guess.

I can never get spinach to germinate. I follow the package directions but it just ignores me. I have the same problem with beets. I have had the problem several years, so it is not just a fluke. I wonder what I am doing wrong.

Samuel, my youngest grew Spinach for the first time last year. Wilted a bit (should have planted it earlier in the season) gets really hot here in the Okanagan -even in late Spring.
I agree with you, it’s a great vegetable for kids to have in their veg patch. We can’t wait to plant some more this Spring. My husband makes the most delicious Spinach and Feta Tart.
Thanks for sharing.

Strangely, spinach is the one green that never germinates for me. I read somewhere about soaking the seeds prior to planting. Maybe I'll get around to trying that this planting time. For now baby bok-choy is my favorite green. .-= Alison Kerr´s last blog ..Garden Friends in February =-.
