Precautions while growing amaranthus •We produce the plant, and the environmental circumstances can occasionally produce problems with spinach and spinach-related diseases. •In the winter months, spinach grows and tastes better. •The seeds germinate slowly in warm conditions and may not germinate at all. •The heat also causes the plants to quickly clump together, destroying the crop's flavor. •For an early harvest, plant the seeds in late winter or early spring, or the late summer or early fall for a fall or winter harvest. •Plant spinach where it will get half-day shade if you wish to try growing it in the summer.
