Spring spinach appears on the country living kitchen table shortly after the very first green onion tops and just before the first lettuce harvest. This is the moment to enjoy it - before the weather becomes hot and before the spinach bolts to seed. In most varieties of spinach, the soil hugging rosette of thick green leaves is deeply crumpled (savoyed).
Planting
Plan to sow spinach seeds the moment the ground has dried out enough in order to burrow. Sow the seeds an inch away from each other. Thin the plants to three inches separate while they grow. Late July or early august plantings provides you with a fall Spinach crop. To improve germination in very hot weather, cool the kernels for a few days before planting. Spinach planted in september will usually make it through the winter under some mulch, all set to continue growing the following spring. There are several winter varieties to choose from.
