My (container) spinach is up and has "real" leaves, but it's not growing in a bunch, the stems are elongating. It's also a bit pale. Anybody know what's wrong? We've had a lot of cloudy, rainy weather lately.

Thanks.

You diagnosed it your self girlfren' Not enough sun/light. It needs all the light it can get. Good Luck.

That too!! LOL Is it inside or outside?? Don't fertilize it yet it's too small and could burn.

Outside. Hm, how to turn on the sun? (It's on today, actually.) I'll move it to under the eaves so it can avoid some of the pouring rain.
Thanks--
