Sow spinach seeds in loose, fertile soil, keep the medium evenly moist, provide suitable light and protect plants from excessive heat. Harvest outer leaves once the plants are established.
For a beginner container garden, consider coriander, spinach, fenugreek, green chilli, radish and compact tomato varieties. Match each plant to a container with drainage and the amount of sunlight available.
Choose a tomato variety suited to your space, sow seeds in a clean seed-starting mix, transplant healthy seedlings into a large container with drainage, provide plenty of sunlight, water when the soil begins to dry and support the plant as it grows.
