Love this Spinach!

by

This was my first year growing this spinach and I think every single seed germinated and grew very well. It grew quickly, very heat tolerant and I got at least 5 cuttings from each plant and some a few more! Very good flavor. My new favorite! I am now going to save the seeds for the next crop.

Few germinated. Slow growth

by

I planted so many seeds indoors, outdoors, everywhere in between and only two germinated.

Seed Savers Response:
Spinach will germinate at soil temperatures between 40-75°F. Spinach takes up to a month to sprout at 40° while it may only take 5 days at 75° but at higher temperatures you may only see 30% germination rates. For best results soak seeds over night in water one week before planting.

Tender, non-bitter spinach!

Excellent spinach- small, baby style. Slower to bolt. Great flavor, not bitter. This was an extra they threw in- and I’m back to order more!
I had good germination results with direct sow outdoors.
