Spinach is one thing I hoped I did right this year and it’s wonderful to have my hopes confirmed. Containers worked better for me probably because poor bed prep… I wonder what are the temps that end the spinach season? And is it heat, or sun? I am willing to bring them indoors. Somewhere. Always trying to keep fresh greens coming during Texas summers.🤞🏼

[@TowardGarden]

Depending on the variety, the temperature they start bolting can be different. Some spinach varieties are slow to bolt and may withstand temperature +90F. Spinach requires adequate light to grow so I don't recommend growing them inside. I hope this helps and thank you so much for your comment!

[@susanarevalo1077]

Where can i get seeds of baby spinach?

[@TowardGarden]

@@susanarevalo1077 This variety shown is Baby Leaf Catalina from Renee's Garden Seeds. I purchased at my local garden center, but you can get online also ( www.reneesgarden.com/products/spinach-baby-leaf-catalina ). Thanks for visiting.

[@hyndavigorre8070]

Another great video.. Thanks for posting it. I like & watched all your videos so far. Quite happy to see the plants growing so healthy. I'm a beginner gardener and some of your videos has more valuable information which helped me. Thanks for the detailed information presented in such short videos. I live in Zone 7b. I had mixed results with seedlings. some would do very well & some don't grow that well indoors before transplanting them into garden. Would like to know if you use any grow lights & seedling feed as they look beautiful and healthy before you transplant them out. Thank you so much again for posting great content.

[@TowardGarden]

Seedlings are always challenging and for some, I need to try different ways to find what works for me too, so don't get discouraged. I live in zone 9b and the conditions to grow seedlings can be very different with yours. Temperature and light as you mentioned is very important. If you grow seedlings inside, the temperature can be fine, but you might need to provide more lights. I usually don't use grow lights but you can defiantly use them to help with the light issue. Also, if you see the seedlings are struggling to grow, feed them with diluted fish fertilizer (1/4 of suggested rate on the bottle). Try not to feed them at a high rate - it might damage seedlings and encourage fungal disease such as damping off. I hope this helps and thank yo so much for your inspiring comment! Happy gardening😊

[@hyndavigorre8070]

Thanks so much for taking your time and providing the details..👍 looking forward to your upcoming videos..🙂

[@paddiekou6556]

Your vegis are very beautiful. No wormholes! How did you do for the pest control?

[@TowardGarden]

For cold weather veggies like spinach I usually don't have worm problem. If I do, neem oil mix or B.t. are what I use most. Also we have many birds and lizards hanging around our backyard which is a big help. Thank you very much for your comment.

[@JakeTheCatGamer]

WOW! Good job raising that leafy beauty. Wait how do you get seeds from spinach then?

[@TowardGarden]

That 's easy. Just let them go to bolting in warmer weather and they will start flowering and produce seeds. Thank you very much for the comment!

[@yamipalmer]

Thank you for all your tips & tricks ☺️ I’m a new planter & I really enjoy watching your videos ! Could you or do you have any videos on how to grow strawberries or raspberries from seeds ?

[@TowardGarden]

So glad you enjoy watching my videos. I will do my best to add strawberry to my list but definitely it will not be anytime soon. Thank you so much for your comment!

[@sylviaw.1584]

Thank you for sharing. Very inspiring. Do you use any type of lighting like grow lights or do you just let them grow as seedlings outside?

[@TowardGarden]

I usually don't grow my seedlings under grow light. As soon as they pop up, I move them to a sheltered part sun location (3-4 hours of early morning sunlight). Thank you so much for your comment!

Enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing! Just curious where you purchased the 12 cell starting tray?

[@TowardGarden]

I got the cell tray online @ amazon.com. I am not sure if that brand is still available, but there are other similar trays that will do the job too. Glad you enjoyed my video and thank you so much for your comment!

[@TowardGarden]

So glad to see your comment. The bags are 10 gallon (16" wide). see video @2:35 . I have them on my amazon page if you want to check www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-3dd9a3b6/list/2RDH8JIP3GENI?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d . Welcome aboard and thank you so much for your comment.

[@dawnelam8726]

Great video! Are you using potting soil or container soil? Thank You

[@TowardGarden]

To grow in containers and grow bags, I use my own mix which is shown @2:29 in video. It is mix of Composted chicken manure+perlite+coir. You may use potting soil but I recommend adding chicken manure (min 2:22) to make it rich. Thank you so much for your comment!

[@lidahalam8260]

Hi there like your videos can I ask you if you use any fertiliser for your seedlings?

[@TowardGarden]

Hi there. I use diluted fish fertilizer for my seedling only if I notice they are struggling to grow. Otherwise try not to use fertilizer. And as soon as they are ready, I immediately transplant them so they can get nutrients. Good question! Thank you very much for your comment!

[@mirthabazan6744]

Hi, really enjoy your videos. In which zone is your garden located? I am in zone 11. Thanks.

Hi. Glad you enjoy my videos. I am in 9b. Thank you very much for your comment!

[@sherifalatika]

Hi, lovely video! I was wondering how often I need to water the seeds before they start sprouting? I started my seeds yesterday in trays and I'm not sure how often I should water. Thanks

[@TowardGarden]

Hi, so glad you loved my video. You just need to keep seed soil moist, but not soggy. If you are using seed starting mix, it should hold moisture pretty well and you maybe just need to water every other day or so. Usually if the top soil is dry it is time to water. Hope this helps and thank you very much for your comment!

[@dietmarfritz8787]

Hi I'm a new gardener can you do a video on baby spinach dash please and amazing video

[@TowardGarden]

Hi, great suggestion. First I need to find the seeds. I am in the US, do you know where I can get the seeds? And thank you so much for your comment!

[@albaduarte2595]

Great video! Any trick on how to make sure i put the correct amount of water and how often, i either let my plants dry or overwater them😢 thanks

[@TowardGarden]

Easiest would be to check the top soil and wait until it is almost dry between watering. You want to keep soil moist but not soggy. And for spinach, definitely do let soil dry completely. Hope this helps and thank you so much for your comment!

[@moemuslih314]

Hi Your spinach looks different feom the one we have in central java indonesia

[@TowardGarden]

Hi. Sure, there are many different varieties of spinach and I hope one day I can grow the one you have in your area. I bet it tastes great.

[@bernieveillard939]

Can I plant them directly like Carrots. Thanks

[@TowardGarden]

Yes, it might take a bit longer to germinate, but you sure can direct sow spinach seeds. And if seedlings are too crowded, just make sure to thin them 4-6" apart. Thank you for visiting!

[@LeapingFrogg]

Your spinach looks so strong and healthy. How do you get them so compact and bushy? Mine are long and leggy with few "real" spinach leaves (seeds germinated 2 months ago) 😐

[@TowardGarden]

Probably you have a different variety. If it the same variety, cut the leaves back and they will regrow to be more bushy. Thank you for visiting!

[@LeapingFrogg]

@@TowardGarden It's Bloomsdale. OK, we'll see what happens. Thx.

[@denylsonny591]

Hey do you harvest every 10 days and if so for how long ?

[@TowardGarden]

You can keep harvesting as long as the weather is cool (for me it is about 3-4 times). It will start bolting when it gets warm. Thanks for visiting.

[@BeingDiyu]

No ferlilisation is required during growth period ?

[@TowardGarden]

These are fast growing crops and the manure added should be sufficient feeding them. For 2nd or 3rd harvest you can feed them with liquid fertilizers such as fish emulsion if needed. Thank you for visiting!

[@hayukngebon6123]

Where did you buy all of your seed?

[@TowardGarden]

I get my seeds either online or from our local garden centers. Thank you for visiting!

Do you buy or make your potting mix....

[@TowardGarden]

I usually make my own potting mix which is shown in the video. You can also use bagged organic potting mix as well. Thank you for visiting!

[@ms.bshomestead7661]

@@TowardGarden Your mixes look very light, fluffy & airy. I have made some but still learning what will be my preference. There are so many options and when I learned that not all growing mediums are made from soil, I was shocked! Soil-less "SOIL"! 😳👍🏾😊

I include the formula for mixes I make but I will try to post a video on how to make potting mix. Thanks.😊
