• Choose a location: Reflect spinach prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Choose a location in your garden that gets at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day.

• Prepare the soil: Before planting, amend the soil with compost or aged manure to improve soil fertility and drainage. Spinach plants prefer soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0.

• Plant seeds: Reflect spinach can be grown from seeds, which can be planted directly in the garden bed in early spring or fall. When planting, space the seeds or seedlings 4-6 inches apart and 1/2 inch deep.

• Provide proper care: Reflect spinach plants require consistent moisture, so keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize the plants with a balanced fertilizer every 2-3 weeks, following the manufacturer's instructions. Mulch around the plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Monitor the plants for pests and disease, and take appropriate action if necessary.

• Harvest the leaves: Reflect spinach leaves can be harvested when they are young and tender, usually 35-45 days after planting. Use scissors or a knife to cut the leaves off the plant at the base of the stem. The leaves can be used fresh in salads, sautéed or steamed as a side dish, or added to soups and stews.
