I get as much spinach as I can in the summertime. Gardening in Canada is an extreme sport... I swear

[@Mk-ef8nm]

🤣🤣

[@jennhoff03]

I feel the same way but for opposite reasons in Houston. Starting at the end of April it's already in the 90s with 100% humidity every day. Nothing can grow in this intense, muggy heat! You can't plant any of the "summer" crops or they'll fry. You have to grow summer crops in early spring and late fall. Also I literally have nothing in the garden that hasn't gotten fungus at some point in the last year, because the humidity is just constant. It's hard to grow in the extreme ends of the weather spectrum!

[@pawpower1023]

I've never grown spinach. Is there a specific type you recommend? There's so many different types of spinach seeds that I don't know which ones to try first

[@ms.pirate]

lol, I can assure you places like Arizona, California, and Nevada is way hotter than Canada. you're lucky you're winters are extreme while us who lives in those 3 places have extreme summers

[@lindagardener855]

Too funny🤣🤣🤣

[@gregc.4117]

Love the fact you’re not worried about spacing!

[@chrifel7127]

2:04 russel: i’m „scratching it in“ in the other bed 🐈😹

[@LB-vl3qn]

I was so distracted by his tail; you just know he knew he was in frame. ~ Lisa

[@stanstarsky]

I love the sprinkle the seed method of planting instead of trying to space the spinach. I cook with a lot of spinach so I have to start growing my own...Gardening is almost like magic, here is a seed, months later here is dinner....Great video

[@lindagardener855]

So glad to see you using a kneeling pad Laura👍 Your knees will thank you when you’re an old gardener like me😊

[@annad1921]

Thanks for the video. I'm motivated now. You should do "for beginners" series or playlist on KZbin on your channel.

[@janicedias_sowgrowanddiy]

Awww .... I need a Russell in my life...❤️

[@ASH-kj9xt]

Great information! Thanks for showing the difference in varieties. I think this would be very helpful for beginners! Russell making his cameo, as usual, is so dang cute! 😂🐱🙌💚🌿

[@mommydena]

Oh boy. I feel like I’m doing everything wrong this year. I live Oregon as well and I’m zone 8b I believe. My soil seems like great soil but it gets compacted and I start to get nervous it’s too wet. I have everything planted but I’m so worried it’s not going to thrive. My passion for gardening of all types has blossomed through watching your videos!!!

[@Candylandavenue1]

Red Malibar spinach is a summer growing spinach for anyone who doesn’t have enough time left to grow regular spinach. In central Texas we go from winter to 2 weeks of spring & then full on summer lol.

[@annaraime3288]

Deer gardening from scratch thank you so much for the advice on warm weather spinach I'm in South Florida and it's hard to grow certain crops. Be blessed and stay healthy🌺🙏🌺

[@Candylandavenue1]

amity 150 same here! We skipped spring this year I guess. Lol

[@Candylandavenue1]

Anna Raime you’re welcome! 😊

[@Andrew-bn6su]

I don't know the exact type ,but spinach plants that Bonnie sends to Walmart does really well in early summer too. I'm in Mississippi

[@chrishobsonwhalen9857]

Love these beginner videos! I'm been gardening for a long time, but find these super useful as refreshers and reminders and you always seem to offer a new tidbit of information that I might not have considered! Thanks Laura - going to plant my spinach right now. 🌱

[@casablancalily822]

Thank you so much for doing the beginner videos and including instructions for containers.

[@kimbar11]

You’re doing such a great job with these beginner videos. I’ve never been very confident with edible gardening, so I really wanted to improve this year, and your videos are helping. Thank you.

[@lisawalters5482]

Didn’t ever realize there were two types of spinach. Thanks for the info. Good video. 👏🏻💕👏🏻

[@leahjagger1309]

WOW, I did not know spinach could grow through winter

[@smedgirl1]

More Russell please!! Thank you for all of the info. I really enjoy your videos. So informative, so professional and they move along at a good pace without being overly chatty. Your property is a landscapers dream.

[@sol91405]

Russell is your best assistant. His presence deters many garden foes. Even when he only walks by, he leaves fur and scent that deters unwanted pests.

[@cmboling]

My babe started his spinach growing journey and I’m so excited 💖💖😂

[@transformationgeek1607]

Wow! Thanks for this! Love this corner of the world you create. Stay healthy everyone 😄.

[@JujuBee77]

So glad you're making veggie garden videos!! Thank you!

[@cherylschumacher1832]

Perfect timing, I’m planting spinach seeds today!

[@jennystimson7104]

This was such a helpful video!! New veggie gardener here and I appreciate these types of videos.

[@carolbeatty2468]

Coffee with Laura and some basic gardening how nice. It is good to see and hear the beginning of things and it's nice to see different spaces for growing as well as different varieties. This gives everyone a bit of something no matter where they are in gardening.

[@jessechappa1550]

Lovely Lady and she does Gardening Too !

[@user-hz7kv6js6l]

I just love your channel. What I love about it is that all you make you vegetable garden look so attractive that you want to garden in it.

[@staciasnow3330]

Thank you for this! It helps me be more confident that my little sisters and I will be more successful planting different things this year, for the first time. 💕

[@mesclunpie]

Thanks Laura! This is giving me courage! I was seeding them indoors and will try doing it out today to "experiment!"

[@nancydee6106]

Thank you for the beginner videos they are very much needed and you are my favorite to watch

[@easydoesit6590]

We love Russel. Send him our regards.

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Laura and Aaron! I'm really enjoying the beginner videos. Thank you for sharing!

[@deniseirion5153]

Thank you! This video was very helpful. Planted my first spinach and lettuces from seed and very exciting to see seedings coming up.

[@a.k.5945]

Great video! You made it really simple and I appreciate the description of the different varieties.

[@peaceatferngully8369]

Thank you so much here in Indiana we have cooler days and nights even a little Frost or snow flurries by Mother's Day so I always try to wait to put my tomatoes in but I'm going to go ahead and jump on the greens and the spinach while I can now and in so again in the fall thanks for the info God bless.

[@wendypankhurst2035]

Thanks for the video - well-timed too as I’m sowing spinach today! X

[@clarissamiles]

Hello and thanks Laura. My son and I planted spinach seeds under a grow light on 4-12-20 and then in a container yesterday! We watched many of your episodes (and others) and are hoping for a good crops. We also planted: peas, green beans, Brussel sprouts, carrots, lettuce, cabbage and cauliflower in container yesterday too! We're so excited:)

[@MichiganGardenGal]

Good morning guys! 💚🤗 I am going to be planting spinach, radishes, and peas today or tomorrow! Very exciting. Hope you guys are staying safe and healthy.

[@wagnadarocha]

Michigan Garden Gal finally planted my peas on Friday, planting spinach today , a little late but hope I still can get a good crop🤞🏻

[@GardenMinistry.]

Those are the exact crops growing in my vegtrug this spring!! Will probably succession plant some lettuce in place of the raddish soon, since it's ready to harvest so quickly.

[@rusticanrefined]

Good timing on this video! Now I need some inspiration on container videos for flowers. I;ve already binge watched the old ones. LOL for years.

[@cathymikequimbyquimby7315]

Thank you! We are growing spinach for only the second time so any tips are helpful. Can’t wait to make our own salads soon!

[@nailaahmadUK]

Awww Laura you are a very good teacher. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@bettyboop1524]

It's amazing how your plants are growing and are those strawberries I see? Wow.

[@lovelyladygodbless143]

I thougt that me alone had miss Russel yesterday 😀😀🐹👌nice video hope l can grow next year 😊for the first time when I can reach the gardencenters .

[@ericrusso6250]

I love that food plants can be just as beautiful as any other plant! That American spinach is perty. ♥️

[@christinepops5100]

Growing lots more veggies, so this is great because I need all the help I can get!

[@bobt471]

Love your Short , detailed videos !, ❤️🙏🏻. Thank you from Morgan Hill CA

[@Real.B_]

Prompt & concise. I appreciate you!

[@teambeining]

Those leaves are so pretty ❤️

[@PetalsonthePavingSlabs]

I'm sooooo going to do that scratching in method! Thanks!

[@pamnapier-uhl1362]

This is so great. We are moving and I won’t be able to get a garden in with all the other things happening but I have galvanized containers so “ta da!!” I can plant and move my garden with me! You just give us great ideas!

[@TravelAgentCale]

Spinach is my favorite! These are excellent tips for growing Spinach the correct way!

[@athomewithrobandtim]

great breakdown! We are about some spinach ourselves and look forward to getting a good crop

[@reneeodayok859]

Spinich really is fun to grow . Like radishes and basil. So easy and rewarding for beginners

[@Einjelin]

first time I will try to plant this , thanks for sharing this

[@marthafigueroa4686]

Thank you for sharing the great information on spinach.

[@fwc9500]

What a nice teaching spirit. New subscriber. Literally new to planting lol.

[@janb5488]

Great information on cool weather planting. Thank you.

[@purplethumb7887]

I love all the winter-growing vegetables. We have mild/cool weather here, with a very rare occasional frost. I just started my spinach batch about a week ago. I seeded very densely as well. Growing in containers is perfect for me for the exact reason you mentioned: I can move it and follow the sun if necessary. Excited to see the yield.

[@6muecas]

Thank you for the reminder to plant some spinach. I never knew there was a difference in those types of spinach.

[@georgiacahoone8043]

Good mourning Laura, I am enjoying your beginner videos so much. I am also planning to grow Herbs in a galvanized container like the one you have in this video. Could you do a video on planting herbs in containers too. Thank you.

[@acebuggers2744]

If you look back at her videos she has container herb plating for you to watch.

[@mgstrip]

awww Russel so cute!

[@elainedunlop5358]

Love these instructional videos!

[@annalevenson7234]

You’ve given me great advice and I will get on it mid march up here in Toronto Canada

[@takeheart9962]

your hair is so pretty!

[@marcymcdermott5530]

Nice job!! Looks really good, I’ll have to try that 🥬🥬😉

[@sanhitadatta9447]

I love this type of videos

[@lisfong]

I see now that I've been messing up by trying to "plant" the seeds instead of scratching them in. I'll fix my method now! Thank you!

[@traceythomson7502]

You have inspired me to try growing spinach. I found a cute galvanized bin at Costco the other day. I hope the rabbits will stay away. We have a lot of shade from neighbouring trees, but I do have a tiny bit of sunshine beside our shed. I’m excited to see how it goes. I live in South Eastern Ontario, things are starting to wake up here. I love your channel!

[@marilynbaldwin2934]

Thanks Laura getting ready to plant if we could get a few days without rain during containers and raised beds!

[@rowantree198]

Good video. It's informative and not too wordy or long. Simple recording and editing too.

[@susanrenaud7109]

such a small mini garden

[@gardenfairy9792]

Hi Laura...could you also do a video on how you harvest different vegetables. Like some get cut from the plant as you need it and some get pulled from the ground. How to recognize when to harvest. Thank you.

[@laurenwellman2516]

Debbie Ollila I had the same questions. Like for spinach and lettuce, when do you cut the leaves, how far down and how much? Is it one and done or do they flush back after the first cut?

[@sinmore11]

I think Laura eats bag lettuce from trader joes...just saying. Her crops don't look edible or harvested...

[@mariaparedes9433]

@@sinmore11 she has harvesting videos and they do look edible. 🤨

[@cleaningwithamberhudson694]

I love it when Russell the cat shows up he's so cute

[@gypsygirl731]

Well done lots of info thanks for sharing lovely color of hair as well.. things we all need to know. Love the container idea

[@angelaland9403]

Thank you. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I will drop spinach seeds this week. I have an area near my peppers and tomatoes to plant the spinach. Thanks again.

[@leesaaugustine1444]

Loved this video! Reminds me to try spinach in containers again!! 😍🌱

[@debraflanagan9355]

Thank you so much for these gardening videos. I go back and watch them over and over and I planted my garden just like you. The only thing is I wish you would tell what the date is when you plant something.

[@regtlives4698]

Wow, learned a lot, thanks ❤

[@KaydeBrooks]

I love spinach ,thank you

[@leeannmillet8215]

You have so much good information.

[@wrongwaydriver]

I started mine outside late spring but keep in shade most of the day with a sun screen. Once it gets hot in Az ill probably move it inside to my tent. Great info video. Thx

[@ThatBritishHomestead]

im growing a ton of spinach. i love spinage and its so so good for you. so im growing a ton.

[@elliestell2696]

Love me some spinach!

[@caseyfacey3776]

nice video, very informative.

[@denisek5208]

Great tips on growing spinach, it's already too hot where I live but I will try out these tips in the fall

[@christinepops5100]

Try Malabar spinach! A vining spinach that can take the heat

[@frankfurder3742]

Great video..thank you

[@sallyhenry1716]

Love the sprinkle and scratch way you did, now I don’t have to do rows lol yay! Laura when is the best time to cut the younger leaves?

[@chantalrochon3566]

Thank you for this video 👍🏽👍👍🏿👍🏻

[@gimi2395]

I'm a beginner. I've grown spinach through cinder blocks directly on the ground. Worked better than when I tried in the deck the first time. It helped keep the rabbits away. Btw the peas idea is brilliant!

[@kaylah3889]

Great video and thanks for the helpful videos on growing food for beginners! I have been wanting to do this in my tiny backyard for years and I have finally got a raised planter and I have some verbs and veggies planted. Could you do a video on peppers or go over them? I’ve have 3 varieties going and their tags don’t really say much

[@tyrehester5550]

Great info.. thanks!

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

I mix fresh spinach into soups, spaghetti and all kinds of dishes to get more veggies into our diet.

[@sandraw.4254]

Love your videos! Just wish the stuff you grow in Oregon would grow here in sunny South Florida!!
