1 - 2 inches of water each week especially from mid June to mid August. Too little water will not let plant roots grow deep and strong enough to gather nutrients for good growth. Too much water will saturate the soil, not allowing the plant air and space needed to grow. For best results it is important to know how much water your plants are getting. Observe your vegetables, get to know your soil conditions, keep an eye on the weather and learn which plants need more water than others. Is this sounding too complicated? Here is an easy way to measure how much water your garden is getting. Watering Measuring Tip

What diseases or medical problems can be prevented by eating spinach?
Spinach is an excellent vegetable. While it doesn't directly cure or prevent anymore than any other nutritious vegetable, it is high in nutrients that can prevent certain conditions. It's high in folic acid, which prevents spinal bifidia in developing fetuses. Also, folic acid has been showed to reduce the rate of cognitive decline in elderly people. It's a very good source of iron, which prevents anemia. It's very high in antioxidants (the highest of any vegetable, I believe). And, as a part of a healthy diet with a variety of fruits,vegetables, and whole grains, it can reduce the risk of cancers, heart disease, stroke and many others. While no one vegetable can take the place of all others, spinach certainly can be consumed often as a component in a healthy diet.

How many calories in a two egg omelette with spinach and mushroom?
Probably about 200.
But it is impossible to tell without exact amounts. Let's assume a typical 3-egg omelet (which is SIX egg-whites) with a half cup each of tomatoes and spinach. Each egg white contains approximately 15 calories, the tomatoes are about 30 calories, and the spinach about 10. Cooking oil will probably account for 50 calories (yes, even the spray stuff has fat).
(15*6) + 30 + 10 + 50 = 180 kcal
