Sow directly outdoors in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, and again in late summer for an autumn harvest; in mild-winter climates, sow through autumn and winter. Plant seeds ¼–½ inch deep and keep the soil moist. Seedlings usually appear in 1–2 weeks. Seeds germinate best in cool soil and may struggle above about 75°F (24°C). Thin to 6–12 inches apart, and sow small batches every 2–3 weeks for a continuous supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Grow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost. Full sun is ideal in cool weather; light afternoon shade helps as temperatures rise. Keep the soil evenly moist. Harvest the outer leaves regularly while leaving the centre to keep growing. In hot weather, spinach tends to flower (bolt) and the leaves turn bitter, so harvest before summer heat sets in.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OrganicSeedsHub","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45700789928119,"sku":"SPA-DEC8-382","price":16.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/3335\/6471\/files\/freepik__healthy-spinach-plants-in-a-container-with-rich-da__20656.jpg?v=1769676237","url":"https:\/\/organicseedshub.com\/products\/indian-summer-spinach-seeds-spinacia-oleracea-leafy-greens-for-home-garden","provider":"OrganicSeedsHub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
