Baby Spinach

How to get Popeye’s super power?
  • Germinate spinach seeds in a large pot with light moisture soil
  • Use flower pot to avoid insects from the ground.
  • Place it under partial shade
  • After 40-50 days, cut spinach leaves from outside of the plant, when it gets mature harvest entire plants before flowering.
  • Harvest a patch of home grown spinach for salad, soup, or light cooking.
  • Nutrient content is best if eat the spinach straight after picking, remember to wash it in cool water.

  2. I eat spinach all the time. I like the baby leaves in salad and can only tolerate it cooked like Popeye ate it when I smother it in vinegar. What can I say, I'm from the north:)
