Spinach 'Nores'

Spinacia oleracea L.

Reduced price - seeds are at or near "Last sell by date" - sow extra seeds to allow for possible reduced germination.

Nutritious and easy-to-grow leafy vegetable with medium-sized, thick, dark green leaves. More heat tolerant than others and won't bolt so quickly in warm weather. Repeat sowings prolong harvest of fresh leaves, but take a break during the height of summer. Thrives best in loamy, moisture-retaining soil but does well on most soils. Water abundantly.

Direct sowing: April - mid June. Early, as soon as the soil can be cultivated - mid-June, again in early autumn mid August-mid Sept. Water the furrow before sowing. Keep the seed moist until the seeds germinate.
