Growing Spinach, also English spinach

09 Oct 11 Donna (Australia - temperate climate)
I have a few mature (about 6 months old) spinach plants in my garden that have grown quite large. The leaves have started to get curly. What causes this? Now that the plants are larger they are a bit crowded, could this be the cause? Is it because summer is coming on and they are getting more sun? Not enough fertiliser/food???? Please help.
