Advice needed please - growing perpetual spinach in a container

[MyCatHatesEverybody]

I have zero clue or experience regarding growing vegetables (or any gardening for that matter!) but would love to grow some perpetual spinach as I eat a lot of regular spinach and it's expensive! I've had a google and know I can grow it in a container but I'm still not sure what I need to do. I don;t have any suitable garden space to grow it straight in the ground.

Can I just fill my container with the contents of a vegetable grow bag and sow the spinach seeds straight into it? Anything else I should use? Or do I need to plant it out in those seed tray things first? If so can I just leave the seed trays uncovered on my patio table?

Sorry for the dumb questions, most how-to's seem to assume a basic knowledge of gardening which I don't have. Any advice much appreciated!

Pretty much! The instructions will be on the seed packet anyway. If you are going to do "cut and come again", only take half of the leaves from each plant and only cut the outer leaves. You probably want to have several pots going at the same time so do subsequent sowings a week apart so you have pots at different stages and a constant supply.

These are veggies that are good for growing in pots, including spinach. You don't have to buy them from here but you can use it a a reference to chose a variety that is good for container growing:

If you want to try other vegetables, you might be interested in googling how to regrow plants from leftovers eg lettuce, spring onions.

Thanks that's great advice! I was going to buy one larger trough but the idea of several pots is really good.
