Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that Summer Supreme is thought of as half hardy, so protect with a row cover whenever the temperatures drop. Ensure your soil is loamy and has a ph of between 6.0 and 7.0 as Spinach is a weakly acidic soil to neutral soil loving plant.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Summer Supreme about 60 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Summer Supreme

Ensure that temperatures are mild (minimum night temperatures should be around 0°C / 32°F) and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Summer Supreme is a half hardy plant.
