[QUOTE="gil1, post: 4228750, member: 4144"] I know my reply is late, but I thought I'd chime in. Probably my favorite veggies are greens, so I devote a little space to lettuce and spinach. Right now, I have out three varieties of spinach and eight of lettuce. They are the gift that keeps on giving. Just snap off leaves, and more will grow back. Two cool seasons a year. I plant mine close together to keep the weeds out. I just use my finger to make long grooves in the dirt about four inches apart, then sprinkle some seeds in the groove about four inches apart, then cover lightly with the separated dirt. Pull out any excess plants that germinate, as you only need one per spot. You can cover with cloth for shade (but let air in under) to keep them going through July. And I fully cover with clear plastic after the fall planting to keep them going through December. When they start to taste bitter, they're done. And although I planted in March, it's absolutely not too late to get some going now. Look for a heat tolerant strain like Summer Crisp or Sierra. Good luck.
