Starting Indoors: 3-4 weeks before planting out in early to mid-spring. Provide 50-65ºF soil temperature. Sow 2-3 seeds per cell/pot. Sowing into individual biodegradable peat/cow pots reduces root damage when transplanting. Transplant after last frost, 6-12" apart.

How much does a packet plant: 6-10 feet and Spinach Mix packet = 80-100 feet for mature plants or 20-25 feet for baby greens 

Harvest: Starting with baby greens at 3” or the entire plant before it bolts.

Tips: Plant Acadia Spinach in fertile soil, amend with compost or well-rotted manure, and keep well watered. Sow in the fall and cover with mulch for an early spring crop.
