Planting instructions:To plant Space variety spinach:
- Soil Preparation: Ensure the soil is well-drained and rich in organic matter. Amend the soil with compost or aged manure to provide nutrients for healthy growth.
- Seed Sowing: Sow spinach seeds directly into the soil or containers. Space the seeds
about 6 inches apart and plant them at a depth of about 1/2 inch.
- Sunlight: Choose a planting location that receives full sun to partial shade. Spinach prefers cooler temperatures, so avoid planting it in areas that receive intense afternoon sun.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to ensure adequate moisture for germination and growth.
- Thinning: Once the seedlings emerge, thin them to ensure proper spacing. Space the seedlings about 6 inches apart to allow room for growth and airflow.
- Maintenance: Mulch around the base of the plants to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Keep an eye out for pests and diseases, and address any issues promptly.
- Harvesting: Space spinach typically matures in about 40-45 days. Harvest the outer leaves as needed, leaving the inner leaves to continue growing for successive harvests. Use sharp scissors or garden shears to cut the leaves, leaving a few inches of stem intact for regrowth.
