The Spinach Are Growing

Last Sunday Andrea and I planted the spinach seeds I bought. We also planted some dwarf beans. As they are still seeds I decided to plant it in a recycled detergent pod container as I am planning to transfer them to a proper pot when they grow bigger. Yesterday there were 2 or 3 of them growing well. Today I was surprised to find out more of them. The Dwarf Beans are sprouting too but no leaves yet. This makes me really happy as I planted it without expecting much. We will have free salad in our backyard soon.

Is there enough time left to grow them? Summer is nearly over!

@Orson_Kart You can keep planting until August. But I am just trying my luck. I do worry about the slugs they do love nibbling organic goods.

@flapiz What, summer is, or you can keep planting the seeds until August?

You are down south, so probably got enough time. I hope the bugs and beasties don’t eat them before you do.

Glad your spinach is growing. Do you need to water it every day? I love spinach.

I'm going to try this idea. The seeds are growing well. Spinach is a delicious vegetable. Best wishes.

It is a fun way to pass time and get free food in the process. They grew really quickly.

that's some healthy vegetables. i like spinach very much due to high iron level, which we, ladies, need.

Me too. It is a versatile salad and it goes well with Filipino dishes. It is my alternative to moringga as it is not very common here in the UK.

It's quite exciting to see the tiny shoots pushing up through the soil.
