How to Sow and Plant

Soak seeds optionally to speed germination. Sow indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow outdoors 2–4 weeks after frost danger passes. Plant 0.25–0.5 in (0.6–1.2 cm) deep. Space seeds 1–2 in (2.5–5 cm) apart; rows 12–18 in (30–45 cm) apart. Provide trellis or support for climbing. Keep soil moist for optimal growth.

How to Grow

Provide full sun to partial shade (6–8 hours). Maintain consistently moist soil. Fertilize with compost or organic fertilizer. Support vines with trellis or fence. Harvest mature leaves regularly. Protect from pests like aphids or snails with organic controls.

Tips

Succession sowing ensures continuous harvest.

Young leaves are tender and flavorful; mature leaves suitable for stir-fries and soups.

Mulch to retain moisture and control weeds.

Ideal for warm climates where regular spinach may struggle.
