Three things I wish someone had told me before growing Spinach

After growing Spinach for over a year here is what I'd tell a beginner.

First: thinning seedlings to give each plant adequate space is not optional — it's the foundation everything else depends on. Second: aphid colonies on brassicas and soft growth will happen and you should know how to handle it before it does. Third: a grow bag on a paved patio or balcony genuinely matters — the right position unlocks full control over growing methods and chemical use in a way a poor position never will. planting out and establishing after last frost is the payoff for getting all of this right. It's worth every bit of effort.
