Plant & Growing Tips
Spinach
- Sow spinach seeds directly into well-drained, rich soil in cool weather, either early spring or late summer/fall.
- Provide consistent moisture and partial shade in warmer climates to prevent spinach from bolting prematurely.
- Space plants about 4-6 inches apart to allow for good air circulation and leaf development.
Natural Pest Control
- Use floating row covers over spinach beds to protect against leaf miners and other flying insect pests.
- Hand-pick slugs and snails from spinach leaves in the early morning or evening.
- Spray aphids off spinach plants with a strong stream of water or an insecticidal soap solution.
Harvest
Spinach
- Harvest outer leaves when they are 3-5 inches long, cutting them at the base to allow the inner leaves to continue growing for a cut-and-come-again harvest.
