• Spinach germinates best in cool soil. 

• Sow late late summer through to late Autumn 

• Sow about 12-18 seeds per foot, 1/2 inch deep, in rows 12-18 inches apart and thin when large enough. 

• Harvest young spinach leaves during growth and full-size, but before bolting.  Cut just below root attachment for "rooted spinach", or cut higher for "clipped spinach."

• Protect during harsh cold spells and from winter birds.

• Spinach grows on a wide range of soils if moist and fertile, but is sensitive to acidity.
