Key Questions to Ask When Ordering wholesale spinach seeds

Spinacia oleracea thrives in the Northwest due to its optimal growing conditions, allowing us to prioritize criteria like flavor, vigor, and resistance to bolting and diseases. Leafy spinach, known for having the highest protein content among vegetables, provides a potent mix of vitamins, minerals, flavonoids, and carotenoids. These nutrients protect eyesight, prevent cholesterol buildup, and neutralize cancer-causing free radicals.

Culture

• Optimal soil pH range: 6.5-7.5
• Best grown in cool weather during early spring and fall
• Soil temperatures above 80°F may cause erratic germination
• Bolting can be triggered by rising temperatures, longer days, and water stress; choose varieties resistant to bolting
• Apply 1/2 cup of TSC's Complete fertilizer per 5 row feet, along with 1 inch of compost

Direct Sowing

• For baby spinach, sow 20-25 seeds per foot in a 2-inch wide furrow, with rows 6 inches apart, then thin to 1 inch
• Sow in July-August for a fall crop
• Sow in late August for an overwintering crop

Insects & Diseases

• Common insects: Spinach leaf miners
