I'm growing spinach for the first time this year. Since I use containers to grow vegetables, I don't plan on large harvests. Normally, I just cook for my cat and myself, so small harvests don't matter. I have pooor soil in my yard, hense I must use containers. And if it' a small harvest, well, that beats no harvest at all. :) I can't tell you how much I treasure my fresh vegetables from the garden.

What tempusflits said. I grow spinach in windowboxes; pick the leaves when they're young, and the plant keeps growing more. A little side of wilted spinach with garlic and oil .... yum! Over the season, I get enough for a few meals. Nothing beats eating fresh from the plants.
