How to Grow Bloomsdale Long Standing Spinach from Seed

Spinach is a cool weather favorite able to be sown in early spring, late summer, or winters in warm enough regions. Spinach can be started indoors 4-6 weeks prior to final spring frost but, for best starts, sow directly outdoors 5-6 weeks prior to final spring frost. Plant 2-3 Bloomsdale seeds 1/2" deep, 4" apart in fertile, composted, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.5-7.0.

Spinach seeds germinate in 7-21 days, thinning best starts every 6-12" in the garden as true leaves establish. Harvest large outer leaves often to boost production while allowing smaller leaves to continue to mature. Avoid nitrogen-rich fertilizers known to spoil spinach flavor.
