Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Sow spinach directly outdoors as soon as the soil thaws – from late March or April to May, and again in July–August for an autumn crop. Sow 2–3 cm deep with 20–30 cm between rows; thin to 8–10 cm.
Watering and feeding. Water regularly: in moist soil the leaves are larger and juicier and the plant bolts later. Add compost before sowing; spinach likes fertile soil.
Care. Hoe and weed between rows. Pick leaves before the plant starts to send up a flower stalk – after that they turn coarse.
Gardener's tip. Spinach bolts quickly in the long days of June–July, so make the main sowings in early spring and late summer – "Matador" copes well with autumn cold.
