How to Grow

Soil

Prepare the beds by digging through compost and well-rotted manure approximately one week before planting. Make sure the soil drains well.

Position

Bloomsdale spinach grows in full sun to part shade but does not tolerate hot conditions. Plant it next to strawberries, as they tend to work well as companion plants.

How to Plant 

Sow the seeds directly into the veggie patch at most times of the year, however propagate in a mini greenhouse when it is too hot or too cold and then look to transplant once conditions become more mild.

Seed Sourcing: Locally sourced in small batches to maintain maximum viability for germination
