I slipped my spinach seeds along a row of beans just to save space: since then, not a single gap in the row and the leaves hold much longer
Slip spinach seeds along a bean row and the magic begins: no bare patches, no bolting, no premature flowering. Beans fix nitrogen from the air while their foliage creates the exact shade spinach needs to stay tender through warm weeks. This isn’t luck—it’s plant biology working in your favor, and it costs nothing but smart spacing.
