Planting & Care

Sow Olympia spinach seeds directly in the garden about 4–6 weeks before the last expected frost, or in late summer for a fall crop. Plant seeds ½ inch deep and 1–2 inches apart, then thin seedlings to 4–6 inches apart once they have a few true leaves. Spinach prefers consistent moisture; water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulching helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.

For a continuous harvest, sow small batches every 2–3 weeks. Harvest outer leaves when they reach usable size, or cut the entire plant at the base for a full bunch. In warm weather, provide afternoon shade to delay bolting and extend the picking season.
