Welcome to the forum Usman
The season for spinach is over; when days become long spinach begins to Bolt (to produce seed). When spinach bolts it just makes smaller leaves, and thicker stems. The leaves become too small because the plant's energy goes into reproduction. If you want, collect your own seeds and sow it after July in your area, sowing season is up to November.

thank u so so much @mirafzalkhan bhai
but i need it whole year for my parrots...
is there any kind of spinach seeds which can produce it whole year???

afzal bhai what is growing seasone of mint and coriender ????

All leafy vegetables are best grown under semi shade.. as the shadier condition will cause the leaves to become larger and the bolting becomes low.. mint and coriander can be grown year round except in extreme chill..

thank u soo much izhar and mir bhaaai

@izhar and mirafzalkhan can i sow spinach seeds now?

Yes you can... i sowed a week back,they sprouted and doing well even in full sun

Farhan Spanich is a cool season crop & the time is past.

I grow it all year round, no problem. Just pay attention to its requirements and like some one said, in summer grow it in a cooler shady place and that all. A cycle lasts a month or so. Grow little just now and after two three weeks plant another small patch. As the first one goes to seed shift to second.
