It is also a great container plant. Plant in early spring, 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost date or when soil temperatures are above 35 degrees. Successive planting can be made every 3 weeks for continuous harvest. Spinach prefers light, fertile, moist, and well drained soil. Harvest individual leaves from outer edges as they become big enough to use or cut the whole plant 1 inch above the base and new leaves will grow. ... find out more
