Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Spinach grows in a wide range of soils if moist and fertile but is sensitive to acidity; pH should be at least 6.0, preferably 6.5–7.5. Spinach germinates best in cool soil.
Harvesting & Storage: Harvest with a knife when the leaves reach desired size, making sure to cut above the basal plate for cut-and-come-again harvests, or, for whole-plant harvest, cut just below the basal plate.

Let customers speak for us
I grow flats of this for my pet pigs, because of the high nutritional content. They love it. I find them waiting at the growing location every afternoon waiting for their fave. I've grown beautiful flats of pea sprouts and alfalfa for them too, but they turn up their snouts and walk away.
