If mulched, spinach can overwinter in sub–zero temperatures. Soil temperatures above 85ºF halt germination. Mild Climates: Sow in fall for cool-season harvests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"box-sizing: inherit;\"\u003eWhen to Start Inside:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNot recommended; roots sensitive to disturbance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"box-sizing: inherit;\"\u003eDays to Emerge:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e5–10 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"box-sizing: inherit;\"\u003eSeed Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e½\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"box-sizing: inherit;\"\u003eSeed Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eA group of 3 seeds every 6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"box-sizing: inherit;\"\u003eRow Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"box-sizing: inherit;\"\u003eThinning:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWhen 2\" tall, thin to 1 every 6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvesting: Pick individual leaves from outer edges of plant as they become big enough to use or cut the whole plant 1\" above the ground; new leaves will be produced. When picking individual leaves, also removing the leaf stem at the same time is best; this reduces vulnerability to disease during die-back and conserves plant energy. Harvest before the plant sends up a flower stalk (bolting). Just prior to bolting, leaves take on an \"arrowhead\" shape, adding small keel shapes to the base of the leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Interests","offers":[{"title":"15 Grams","offer_id":51945884582199,"sku":"3007","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/2423\/5063\/files\/product-media-477482.jpg?v=1775872515","url":"https:\/\/heinzbrothers.com\/products\/botanical-interests-bloomsdale-spinach-seeds","provider":"Heinz Brothers Garden Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
