Organic Spinach Space - West Coast Seeds
Spinacia oleracea
- CERTIFIED ORGANIC
- All-season-performer
- Fast growth
- Grower favorite
- For babyleaf and bunching
- Matures in 42 days
- Full Sun to Partial Shade
CERTIFIED ORGANIC! Tried and true all-season spinach for babyleaf and bunching. Space organic is a growers’ favorite with its fast growth and good tolerance to both warm and cold temperatures. Thick, medium-dark green leaves are smooth to slightly savoyed with a nice gloss. Vigorous plants hold well without bolting and have an upright habit for easy harvest.
Approx. 250 Seeds
Spinach does best in cool weather. Direct sow in the period four weeks before, and three weeks after the last frost date. Spinach will bolt once days get long and hot. Some varieties grow enough to harvest before they bolt. For continuous supply, plant every 3 weeks.
Sow again in the middle two weeks of August for a fall crop that, if cut at the soil level, will come back early the following spring where winters are mild. Shade summer-sown seed beds, keep very well watered, and sow more seeds than you need, as warm soil will reduce germination rates marginally. Thin seedlings, and use cloche protection as cold weather approaches. Late sowings like this can be harvested into December – in mild winters if cloche protection is provided.
Optimal soil temperature: 5-20°C (45-70°F). Seeds should sprout in 7-14 days.
Sow seeds 1cm (1/2″) deep, 10 seeds per 30cm (12″), in rows 30-45cm (12-18″) apart. Thin to at least 5-8cm (2-3″) between plants, or further if you want larger leaves.
