Spinach
Spinacia oleracea
Spinach thrives in cool weather and prefers consistently moist, fertile soil with at least 6 hours of sunlight or partial shade. Sow seeds directly in the garden in spring or fall and harvest outer leaves regularly to extend the productive season. Avoid planting in hot summer conditions as heat will cause the plant to bolt quickly.
