Spinach
How To Grow:
Choose a well-drained location with partial shade. Sow spinach seeds 4-6 weeks before the last frost or in late summer for fall harvest. Space seeds 1 inch apart in rows 12-18 inches apart. Keep the soil consistently moist. Harvest outer leaves when they're large enough, leaving the center leaves to continue growing.

Pumpkin
How To Grow:
Select a sunny spot with fertile soil. Plant pumpkin seeds 2 weeks after the last frost when the soil has warmed up. Sow seeds in groups of 4-5, 1 inch deep. Allow 4-5 feet between groups. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Harvest when the pumpkins are fully mature and have a deep color.

Tomato
How To Grow:
Start tomato seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Provide support for the plants as they grow. Water consistently to keep the soil evenly moist. Harvest tomatoes when they're fully ripe but still firm.
