Its bright green leaves have a pointed, triangular shape that sets it apart from rounder and more heavily savoyed spinach varieties. The tender leaves have a pleasantly mild spinach flavor and can be harvested young for salads or allowed to size up for steaming, sautéing, soups, and other cooked dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpinach\u003c\/strong\u003e – Galilee – \u003cem\u003eSpinacia oleracea\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardy Annual.\u003c\/strong\u003e Galilee is a fast-growing true spinach valued for its unusual leaf shape and better heat tolerance than many traditional spinach varieties. It can help extend the spinach harvest into warmer shoulder-season weather, particularly when grown with consistent moisture and some afternoon shade. It is still a cool-season crop, however, and prolonged heat or long summer days can cause plants to bolt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50–75°F\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7–14 days\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 35–40 days\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun\/Shade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing After Thinning:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4\"–6\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 lb bulk seed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirect sow Galilee Spinach in loose, well-drained soil enriched with compost or other finished organic matter.
