Planting and Care for Spinach

  • Sowing Spinach Seeds: Plant seeds directly into well-drained, fertile soil or a suitable grow bag. Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep, with a spacing of 6-8 inches between plants.
  • Growing Spinach: Requires consistent moisture and regular watering. Protect from excessive heat to prevent bolting (premature flowering). Mulching helps retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
  • Harvesting Spinach: Harvest baby spinach leaves 30-40 days after sowing by picking outer leaves first. For mature leaves, harvest 45-60 days after sowing by cutting the entire plant at ground level.

Precautions While Growing Spinach

  • Ensure soil pH between 6.0-7.0 for optimal growth.
  • Protect from pests such as aphids and leaf miners; use organic pesticides if necessary.
  • Monitor for signs of bolting in warmer weather; provide shade or cooler conditions to prolong harvest.

Common Problems and Solutions
