This Garden Talk Tuesday we’re going to talk about another great fall crop: spinach. Spinach is another fairly easy crop to grow that's only slightly fussy about its growing conditions. It’s no diva, like carrots, but it can be a little finicky when it comes to temperatures and water. So, it really is best grown in the cooler shoulder seasons of spring and fall. And, what makes it a great fall crop is that it can not only stand up to a heavy frost, you can overwinter it with row covers and harvest off the mature plants all winter long. Then, in the spring, it will pick back up and begin growing again for a very early spring harvest before you’ve even finished planting your spring crops.

So, let’s dig in to growing spinach.
