Spinach 'Space'

Space has dark green, round, spoon shaped, almost smooth leaves that are still meaty enough for real flavour. Tried-and-true variety for all seasons. Fast-growing, medium-green leaves are smooth to slightly savoyed. The leaves are held up off the ground so they stay clean. Summer and fall harvest. This variety is lovely both cooked and raw, as baby leaf spinach, or full size. It will work in larger containers for early spring and late fall growing.

HOW TO GROW:
Spinach does best in cool weather. Direct sow in the period four weeks before, and three weeks after the last frost date. Spinach will bolt once days get long and hot. Some varieties grow enough to harvest before they bolt. For continuous supply, plant every 3 weeks. Shade summer-sown seed beds, keep very well watered, and sow more seeds than you need, as warm soil will reduce germination rates marginally. Thin seedlings, and use cloche protection as cold weather approaches.
