While lettuce is the &#8220;King of the Greens&#8221;, spinach has good reasons to hold its leaves up proudly. Growing spinach is the second most popular garden green. In addition to tasting good, this thick-leaved green is among the most nutritious vegetables you can eat. It is eaten raw or cooked. Use this guide to learn how to grow spinach. Then, buy some spinach seeds and get growing today.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">A generation ago, kids were threatened with a variety of punishments if you do not &#8220;eat your spinach&#8221;. While parents don&#8217;t push eating spinach as much today as our parents did, perhaps they should. From a nutrition standpoint, perhaps we should. Whether our parents knew it or not, spinach truly is good for you because it is packed with vitamins and minerals. Even Popeye knew the benefits of this healthy food.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">When we speak of spinach, most people still think about cooked leaves, which are boiled into an often mushy, unappealing green mass. It is amazing how many people have never tried the mild-flavored spinach in a salad. Fewer still, think about where they can use these greens. They mix well in many recipes and can be found in places like stuffed shells, lasagna, and soups.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">Spinach is a hardy, cool weather crop. It grows best in spring and fall and survives frosts and even freezes.<\/p><p align=\"Left\"><b>Garden Tip:\u00a0<\/b>For an early crop when prices in the stores are still high, try growing spinach in a container on your deck, in a sunroom, or inside a cold frame.<\/p><p align=\"Left\"><b>Did you Know?<\/b> Spinach is an ingredient of one of the most popular tomato vegetable juices? That&#8217;s right, without Spinach, V8 would only be V7.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
