πŸ—“οΈ When to Sow

  • Spring Crop: Sow as soon as the soil can be worked β€” 2–4 weeks before the last frost.

  • Fall Crop: Sow in late summer to early autumn, about 6–8 weeks before the first frost.

  • Spinach grows best in cool weather (optimum 10–18Β°C / 50–65Β°F).


🌱 How to Sow

  1. Prepare the Soil

    • Choose a site with full sun to partial shade.

    • Loosen soil and enrich with compost if needed.

    • Ideal pH: 6.0–7.5 (slightly alkaline is okay).

  2. Sow the Seeds

    • Sow directly into the ground.

    • Depth: Β½ inch (1–1.5 cm) deep.

    • Spacing:

      • Rows: 12–18 inches (30–45 cm) apart.

      • Plants: Thin to 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) apart once seedlings emerge.

  3. Watering

    • Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.

    • Avoid overhead watering to prevent mildew.

  4. Germination

    • Time: 7–14 days.

    • Best germination occurs at cool temperatures (10–16Β°C / 50–60Β°F).


🌿 After Germination

  • Thin seedlings once they have 1–2 true leaves.

  • Use thinned seedlings as baby greens if desired.

  • Mulch lightly to retain moisture and suppress weeds.


🌾 Growing Tips

  • Water regularly, especially during dry spells.

  • Harvest outer leaves when they’re large enough, or cut whole rosettes.

  • For continuous harvest, succession sow every 2–3 weeks.

  • In hot weather, plants may bolt (flower prematurely); provide partial shade or choose cooler sowing times.
