In order to plant spinach, first prepare a well-groomed seed bed that is damp and has plenty of soil fluff. Use a garden seeder to plant spinach at the proper spacing with help from an organic farmer in this free video on vegetable gardening and horticulture.

you so cute
Thanks for sharing!
Greetings Jarrett,
Thank you for all of your wonderful informative videos. I am new to gardening.
I just recently built 4 raised beds. I am so excited about growing good organic vegetables .I live in South West Florida & My question is when would you plant spinach & other leafy greens down here?
Love & Light

Great video, thanks. I did not realize it was winter hardy, now I know what to plant this fall.

Cool scooter!
Cool. Now I know what to plant. I'm only 30 minutes from Belchertown. How ironic.
Ive had good resluts with spinach and found that it is a good thing to grow if you have a bit too much shade, I particularly like 'baby leaf spinach' which is a smaller variety because I can grow it in between other larger plants. I also found that it loves drainage.
@satellitetune Thank you! We love feedback!
English lettuce is too
Just got my spinach seeds in the male today.
Thanks for the tips.
I just tried growing spinach from seed. It sprouted quickly but didn't grow beyond the first two leaves. I'm in a subtropical area and it is summer, do you think it didn't take because it is too hot right now? @ 28 Celsius / 85 Fahrenheit.
Where does a home gardener find a nice seeder like that? Agway?
@Becoming0ne lol I suspect think about it u tube is such a great learning tool how would idiots like us learn when we dont have people to teach us I love this channel. It gave me a refresher on yellow squash and hopefully will put the rest of my gardening skills back on par. Looking forward to the growing season however in Tennessee we had a really mild frost this last year so it dont look good cause of the bugs.Well anyway good luck hope things work out for you man.
@gardengreentheworld Yeah but they're good resluts.
@Becoming0ne I think spinach grows in cooler climates.
bloomsdale long standing spinach is a good heat resistant variety
I noticed you have no fence,how do you keeps those Dirty Wotten Wabbits away?…hehehehehe.
explains why my spinach isnt growing much, guess it's too hot. I'll replanting them this fall and try what you said about it coming back up in the spring. Sounds intereting…I would have thought spinach only produces for one season..?
the adverts are getting worse on youtube
This is a YouTube video about growing spinach.
