Growing spinach in containers

[Yogi]

If your spinach keeps bolting before you get a decent harvest, one trick I’ve found helpful is using containers you can move. Spinach is super sensitive to rising temps—once it gets too warm, the plant sends up a flower stalk and the leaves turn bitter fast.

By growing in pots, I can shift them to shadier spots as spring heats up, or even bring them under cover during a sudden warm spell. It’s made a huge difference in keeping the leaves tender for longer. If you’re growing in a warm zone or transitioning into summer, this flexibility really helps.

I’ve put together a detailed video guide on how to grow spinach in containers—from seed to harvest. You can check it out here:

Thank you so much for the interesting video. I love growing plants in containers.

My immediate response is 'How many containers for heavens sake?' My missus made a pie with spinach, egg pine nuts, oregano and spices last night and picked a 14 foot row of it, just for the two of us. I grow a lot of chard, that doesn't reduce quite as much.
