Spinach Seeds
Spinach is a cool weather crop. The tender leaves are most nutritious when eaten raw in salads, soups and smoothies.
Sowing Spinach Seeds
Sow spinach seeds outdoors in early spring (March 15 in zone 5). Sow 1/2" deep and 2" apart. Thin to 4-6" apart. Space rows 16" apart. Full sun.

Viroflay spinach has very large, deep green leaves. It bolts before the other varieties, but it compensates by producing extra-large leaves. This makes it a great choice for freezing or selling at market. Thin well for larger plants.
French heirloom, pre-1860's. Also known as Monstrue de Viroflay.
