Special Features: Spinach produces tender, flavorful green leaves that are perfect for fresh or cooked consumption. This plant is cold-hardy and known for its ability to grow quickly in cool climates.

Watering: Keep the soil constantly moist, but well drained. Regular watering is essential to ensure tender leaves and prevent the plant from becoming bitter.
Pests: Spinach can be susceptible to pests such as aphids, leaf miners and slugs. The use of environmentally friendly products such as potassium soap and neem oil is recommended to keep pests under control.
Cold hardiness: Spinach is very cold hardy and can withstand light frosts, making it an excellent crop for the spring and fall seasons.
Substrate: A well-drained substrate rich in organic matter is recommended. A mixture of compost and potting soil is ideal for growing spinach.
