A landrace of smooth leaved spinach. Selected for fast growth, slow bolting, and resistance to insects. Without crumpled leaves there are fewer places for insects to hide. I make my first planting of this a few days after the winter snow-cover melts.
Seeds Data
JosephsGarden's Spinach Landrace, 'Smooth Leaved' Seeds Care Instructions
Try for a seed spacing of at approx. 3.12 inches (8.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.49 inches (1.25 cm) if planning to sow direct.
Spinach normally grows to a mature height of 60.0 cm (that's 1.95 feet imperial) so ensure you have enough space in your garden for this plant.
Try to apply water fairly sparingly.
Spinach requires a soil ph of 6.0 - 7.0 meaning it does best in acidic to neutral soil.
Aphids, Beet leafhopper, Flea beetle, Leafminers, and Slugs are common problems for Spinach so keep a note of any developing symptoms.
