I find that the bought varieties of spinach just don't last long
(except the organic ones). I've become fed up with this whole thing
so I started planting spinach indoors in peat pellets. I live in a
bachelor apartment and there is no way for me to have a garden so this
has raised a few questions (which I wouldn't worry about at all, of
course, if I had access to a garden and could plant that way).

Just how does spinach grow?

Does it become bush-like? or is it a stalky type of plant with many
leaves?

It grows to be a small (6 in.diameter?) leaf lettuce style plant.
