Most of my seeds came in!!

I believe I still have some access to a patch of bamboo. I just might can figure out a way to make some tomato trellises out of it. Free is good if it will work.

Some ideas from Google pictures...

Planning to get some compostable pots for my much earlier starting plants that way they don't have to be replanted so old when the outside is safe to go in

I have some kale sprouts and a (singular) spinach sprout in the green house!

Have you grown spinach before?

Have you grown spinach before?

Yes. Both in pots and in the garden. It never does very well. So why do I keep planting it???

I feel the same, but once in a while I get a really big, vigorous plant going and then it's spinach for days...

Sit down near that plant and ask it very nicely what it likes about where it is.

My step dad told me that spinach grows where it likes to grow. If it doesn't grow well for you, that is in NO WAY a reflection on your gardening skills.

I have no idea what was just perfect about the one monster spinach I managed to grow (it bolted and got a few feet tall, but leaves were still perfectly edible so I just cut what I needed, and we really did have spinach on and off for weeks). Never had another one like that!

Last year's spinach barely sprouted even though the seeds were only a year old, and quietly died in sprout form. Couldn't get a single one to stick.
