An early ripening and cold resistant variety with large leaves that is slow to bolt in warm weather. It can be grown in spring, summer-fall or home all year round.
Sow seeds 6 weeks before the last frost date in the spring or in the late summer-beginning fall for a fall harvest, as spinach likes cold weather. The best temperature is 60-65°F. Soak seeds in water for 24 hours to speed up germination. Loosen the soil at least 1-foot deep and plant ½-inch deep and 4-6 inches apart in a semi-shaded area, in moisture-retentive, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. When seedlings are 3 inches tall, thin to the strongest seedlings 12-18 inches apart. Preferably, set plants in hills to allow the weak stem to sprawl. Space rows 24-36 inches apart. Keep the soil evenly moist and don’t let the soil dry out. Pinch off the leaf tips to encourage new leaf growth. For a continuous harvest, sow seeds every 14-21 days.
