This is my second crop of spinach.
Has been AWESOME to date. In fact, if I sit out there long enough, I can find enough for a huge pan of spinach lagagna
but, I digress
Why are the edges getting yellow? is it too much water or too much sun?
Or neither?
Thanks
Can you plant veggies such as zucchini or squash in a comtainer? Will the vines grow out? I just moved from a housr to an apartment and miss my veggit garden! I have tomatoes, jalapeno, and a pineapple sage plant and that is all. I used to have 1/4 of an acre avery year and tons & tons of veggies! I miss it! I know I must sound silly, but am not used to container gardening for veggies. I am used to putting them in the ground! Help me please!
squash - maybe
zucchini - no.
You need two plants (preferentially four) for zucchini to cross pollenate. No pollenation, no fruit.
For the squash, you would certainly need at least a five gallon terra cotta type pot, with at least 2.5 square feet of surface for the fruit to lay. Keep an eye on it, because if the fruit grow over the edge, they will snap the vines
Oh, and fruit is what I am using as a "catch-all" term for the veggie in concern.

Sublimaze: Most likely tip burn on your spinach. Mine always get some on the older leaves. Does not seem to be an answer as to causes. http://www.apsnet.org/online/common/names/spinach.asp

lil_beans: I am not a container garderner, but there are lots of folks on DG who are. It appears that many folks succesfully grow bush squash (crooknecks, straightnecks, pattypans, zucchini) in containers. It will take a relatively large container. The earth Box people use to claim six plants per container, but have reduced it to four.
