Sunangel Spinach Growing Tips

• When to Plant Spinach

Spinach is a "cool season" vegetable that grow best in the cooler months of the year. Spinach will not germinate well in warm soils, so wait until your soil temperatures are in the 60s (°F) to plant. While it can be transplanted, spinach is easy to directly sew in the garden.

For planting in rows, make a shallow, 1/2" deep furrow and sprinkle spinach seeds in a band along the furrow. Lightly cover with soil and tamp with a rake or hoe to ensure solid seed to soil contact. For planting in raised beds or containers, sprinkle spinach seeds over the entire bed or container. Then lightly cover the seeds with soil and press the soil with your hand or a garden tool.

Spinach is very cold tolerant and will grow throughout the winter in most climates. Temperatures below 20°F will sometimes burn the tips of the leaves, but the spinach plants should rebound just fine. Keep soil moist during heavy freezes to insulate the plants.

• How to Fertilize Spinach

It's always a good idea to apply some pre-plant fertilizer to the soil prior to planting spinach seeds. We like to sprinkle Coop Gro organic fertilizer on our raised beds or along our rows prior to planting. This ensures the plants have the right nutrients to put down roots in their new soil.

After each harvest, fertilize the plants with a balanced fertilizer to ensure quality repeat harvests going forward. We like to feed ours with a liquid solution of AgroThrive General Purpose or by sprinkling Coop Gro around the base of the plants and lightly mixing it into the soil.

• When to Harvest Spinach

Spinach can be harvested whenever you'd like! Some gardeners like to harvest "baby spinach" as soon as the leaves are as big as their hands, while others prefer to wait until the leaves get larger.

When harvesting spinach, you can pluck individual leaves off the plant or cut the plants a few inches above the soil line. Be sure to leave a few inches of the base of the stems in tact so the plants can continue to grow and produce another round of leaves.
