🥬 Spinach
Spinacia oleracea
Spinach loves cool weather: sow in March-May and again in August-September for two harvest seasons. Summer sowings bolt to seed before producing anything.

The tips that matter
- Pick leaf by leaf without uprooting the plant — it regrows for weeks.
- A late-summer sowing (August-September) overwinters and crops again early in spring.
- Keep the soil cool with mulch: spinach bolts as soon as it goes thirsty.
