Planting & Care

Sow Bloomsdale Long Standing spinach seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, or in late summer for a fall crop. Plant seeds about 1/2 inch deep and 1 inch apart, thinning seedlings to 4–6 inches apart once they are established. Spinach prefers cool temperatures and may bolt in hot weather; provide afternoon shade in warmer climates to extend the harvest.

Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly if soil is poor. Harvest outer leaves when they reach desired size, or cut the entire plant for a one-time harvest. For a continuous supply, succession sow every 2–3 weeks in spring and fall.
