Just before the bitter cold of winter set in, I planted a few spinach seeds in greenhouse in the bed with the hops. We keep the heater off until it's time to start seeds at the end of winter, so it gets pretty chilly in there. The seeds germinated slowly, and I thought they would just fizzle out. Although I had given up hope, I doused them with a bit of water last week. A few days later, they perked up. Then I doused them with a bit of fish and seaweed fertilizer. Now, the spinach is thriving! I'll be sure to plant a lot more spinach in the greenhouse this fall.
