Crop Details

• Variety: Tyee hybrid
• Crop type: Cool-season leafy vegetable
• Leaf style: Dark green and textured
• Light: Full sun to partial shade
• Best uses: Salads, soups, sautés, and cooked greens

Sowing

Direct sow in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, or sow again as temperatures cool for a fall crop. Plant approximately 1/2 inch deep in fertile, well-drained soil. Keep the seedbed evenly moist while seedlings establish, then thin plants to provide airflow and room for leaf growth.

Growing Care

Maintain consistent soil moisture without waterlogging. Mulch can help moderate soil temperature, retain moisture, and reduce weed competition. Spinach growth and flavor are best during mild conditions; prolonged heat and increasing day length can encourage plants to bolt.

Harvest

Harvest individual outer leaves once they reach a useful size, leaving the center to continue growing, or cut the whole plant near soil level. Gather leaves during cool parts of the day, rinse thoroughly, and refrigerate promptly after harvest.

Choose a packet of 350 seeds, 1,000 seeds, or a 1-ounce seed package.
