Bloomsdale Long Standing Spinach Seeds

Sow Bloomsdale Long Standing Spinach seeds 1/2 inch deep once soil temperatures sit between 40–70°F, as cold soil slows the seed, while warm soil wakes it up faster. Space plants 2–4 inches apart with rows about 12 inches apart. Heirloom Spinach seeds germinate usually in 7–21 days. In mild areas, you can sow in spring, fall, and even winter windows. In short bursts of cool weather, Spinach Bloomsdale seeds move fast and can be ready in 35–50 days. You can also start Spinach plant seeds  in containers or indoors with growing  light. 

Give plants full sun in cool weather and partial shade when temperature gets higher. Shade slows bolting and helps the leaves stay usable longer. Use fertile, composted, well-drained soil with a pH around 6.5–7.0. Poor soil gives you thin plants. Keep moisture steady at the root zone. Even watering helps the leaves stay tender. If you plant Spinach seeds in containers, check them more often, as they dry out faster than open ground. 

Keep the bed evenly watered once the seedlings settle in. Spinach puts on leaf growth fast, and when the soil swings from dry to soaked, the plants tend to bolt. 

Pick the outer leaves first when plants reach a good cutting size, and leave the center untouched so it keeps pushing new growth. For kitchen use, harvest when the leaves still feel tender and crisp. Use them fresh in salads, cook them down for sautés and baking, or freeze extra harvests for later. That is why many gardeners buy Bloomsdale Spinach seeds every season — you get a crop that works hard in the garden and again in the kitchen.
