Germinating Success
Spinach is tricky for me to germinate much less grow. My husband loves spinach, it has so much pesticide in it so you have to buy organic or locally. I've tried hydroponically and they didn't sprout or they bolted really quick. This year I started 4 different kinds in an elevated grow bed and I tried the square foot gardening. This spinach grew the best, was fast and almost every seed germinated. I'm in zone 6b, I direct sowed August 30th, so it's been a l little over a month and I'm harvesting today. I can't seem to grow spinach in my house under grow lights, but I might try again over winter with this variety. Thank you Botanical Interests! I really enjoy shopping with your company and appreciate the quality of your seeds.

Great for Los Angeles patio pots
Morning sun and evening shade. water often. Replant from seeds several times a year in Los Angeles. Cover with picnic mess food covers to ward off fly eggs.
