Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
No special preparation is required, but soaking seeds in water for a few hours before planting can speed up germination.
Sowing:
Sow seeds directly into the garden soil after the danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep, spacing them about 2 inches apart in rows that are 12-18 inches apart. For continuous harvest, plant seeds every 2-3 weeks.
Germination:
Spinach seeds typically germinate within 7 to 14 days. Keep the soil evenly moist during the germination period.
Transplanting:
Spinach is best grown directly from seeds sown in the garden, but if starting indoors, transplant seedlings when they have 2-3 true leaves and the weather is cool. Space transplants 4-6 inches apart.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Thinning: Thin seedlings to 4-6 inches apart to allow room for growth. Mulching: Mulch around the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Pest Control: Monitor for common pests such as aphids and leaf miners, and use organic or chemical controls as necessary. Harvesting: Begin harvesting leaves when they are young and tender. Cut outer leaves first
