Growing spinach is one of the most rewarding gardening experiences. Tender young spinach, picked fresh from the garden, has no equal -- certainly not in the supermarket. You might not even recognize homegrown spinach as spinach! Use spinach fresh in salads. As the leaves get larger as the season progresses, cook them lightly by steaming or sauteing just for a moment in olive oil with garlic.
The nutritious leaves of spinach are loaded with iron, calcium, protein, and vitamin A. Plant this cool-season crop in early spring or late summer. Wondernig how to grow spinach? In spring, sow as soon as the soil is workable -- four to six weeks before the last frost date. In late summer sow more spinach for fall harvest or to overwinter in a cold frame.
