Spinach

Spinach is a versatile and nutrient-packed leafy green that's perfect for salads, smoothies, and more. Rich in iron and vitamins, it's a must-have for a healthy diet.

Sun: Full sun at some times of year, but in warmer weather you can sow it in light shade to keep it cool.

Temperature: Cool weather

Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.5 to 7.0. You can mix in compost or other organic matter to improve the soil.

Watering: Regular supply of moisture because it has shallow roots. Water spinach every day or every other day, and check the moisture level often. In containers, the soil dries out faster, so check the moisture level daily.

Harvesting: When the leaves reach full size, starting with the outermost leaves.
