Know before you buy
This designation means the seeds are free from restrictive patents or licenses. You are encouraged to save, replant, and share these seeds with others, ensuring the variety remains accessible to all gardeners.
This variety is best suited for spring and fall harvests. While it is bolt-resistant, it thrives in temperatures below 70°F and may struggle or bolt prematurely in the high heat of mid-summer.
Under optimal soil conditions between 32°F and 60°F, you can expect germination within 5 to 10 days. Ensure the soil is kept consistently moist during this period for the best results.
Plant the seeds 1/2 inch deep, spacing them 1 to 2 inches apart within the row. To ensure proper airflow and growth, keep your rows at least 18 inches apart.
Abundant Bloomsdale typically reaches maturity in 55 days. You can harvest individual leaves sooner if you prefer baby spinach, or wait for the full-sized, tender leaves.
