Description: Growing Instructions Before Planting: Spinach grows in a wide range of soils but should have a pH between 6.5-7.5. Spinach germinates best in cool soil between 50-60 degrees F. Planting: Begin sowing in early spring as soon as the ground can be worked. Summer sowing with higher soil temperatures will lead to low germination. Do not use a heat mat to germinate. If sowing has to be done during warm weather, irrigating can help cool the soil and improve germination. Sow in mid to late summer for fall harvest. Spinach can also be planted from late summer until freeze-up in protected structures for fall, winter, and spring harvest. Using floating row covers , offers additional winter protection. For baby leaf: Sow in a 1/2" apart, 2-3" bands, 1/2" deep, about 40 seeds/ft. For a continuous supply, sow every 7 days. For bunching and full size: Sow 10 seeds/ft , 1/2" deep , rows 12-18" apart. Watering: Water regularly, and keep soil moist with mulch. Fertilizer: Fertilization can include blood meal, cottonseed, composted manure or liquid fertilizer. Though spinach is a quick grower and gardeners may want to only revert to fertilization if their spinach is experiencing slow growth. Days to Maturity: Leaves are ready once they are large enough to eat according to each individual gardener's taste. (46 Days) Harvesting: For baby leaves, clip small leaves in 3-5 weeks, depending on time of the year speed growth. Harvest spinach full size but before bolting, cut just below the root attachment for "rooted spinach", or cut higher for "clipped spinach". If anything , please let me know. Thank you
