Planting & Care
Sow Bloomsdale 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 ½ inch deep and 1 inch apart, then thin seedlings to 4–6 inches apart when they are 2–3 inches tall. Spinach prefers cool weather and may bolt in high heat; provide afternoon shade in warmer climates. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Fertilize lightly if needed, and harvest outer leaves first to encourage continued growth, or cut the entire plant at the base for a full harvest. With proper care, you can enjoy multiple cuttings from a single planting.
