Bloomsdale - Organic Spinach Seeds

Plant seeds directly in the garden in early spring, 4–6 weeks before your average last frost date or as soon as the soil can be worked. Optimum soil temperature for germination is 55–65°F. Spinach seed germinates poorly in warm soil and may become dormant above 75–80°F. Sow thickly, then thin to 3–4” apart. Make successive sowings every 1–2 weeks during cool weather. Sow again in late summer for a fall crop. Spinach is very cold hardy and tolerates light to moderate frosts. For overwintering, sow in late fall and mulch heavily for early spring harvest.
