FAQs

Why is my spinach growing tall and thin?
It’s likely due to overcrowding or not enough sun. Thin the seedlings early and ensure they get 4–6 hours of light daily.

Why do the leaves taste bitter?
Over-mature leaves or warm weather can make spinach bitter. Harvest on time and avoid planting too late in the season.

How often can I harvest spinach?
You can harvest every few days once leaves reach 4–6 inches. Pick outer leaves and let the center keep growing.
