Spinach Seeds (All Green)

Spinach is the quick win in a container garden — sow it, keep it watered, and you're cutting leaves within a month to six weeks, which makes it one of the more forgiving crops for someone new to growing food on a balcony. The tight spacing it needs also means you can fit a decent amount into a single trough or wide pot rather than one plant per container. Sow about 1 cm deep, a touch deeper than most leafy greens in this range, and keep the soil consistently moist rather than letting it dry between waterings. It only needs 4-6 hours of sun, seedlings can sit 10-15 cm apart once thinned, and harvest comes fast at 30-40 days — the shortest wait of any crop here.
