Notes

We had hideously bad luck last year with our spinach. IF it germinated (and most didn't), it didn't get taller than an inch before it was dead or vanished. I tried it time and time again over the course of the growing season–no dice. We believe this was a combination of soil, birds, and ants.

But spinach is a favorite of the family menu, so I'm going to try it from all angles this year–Grow Lights, wintersowing, different beds in different parts of the yard… and here's the first set :)

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
