Spinach is a fast-growing and dark leafy green that thrives in the cool days of early spring. In Zone 8a, you can start planting seeds in February or March for a bountiful harvest before the summer heat arrives. Harvest often by picking the outer leaves, and the plant will keep producing new growth. Spinach is full of nutrients, such as iron, calcium, and vitamins A, C, and K. Try incorporating more spinach in the kitchen by adding it to smoothies, pizza, or sandwiches.
