Spinach is a cold-resistant crop, sown in open ground at the earliest dates, in late April - early May, to a depth of 1.5-2 cm. The culture is demanding on soil fertility and moisture. High temperatures cause shooing, while short days delay leaf development. Therefore, the most optimal sowing is in May - early June. Seeding rate 3-4 g / m2, planting depth 2-3 cm. Row spacing 25-30 cm. Distance between plants after thinning (in the phase of two true leaves) -10 cm.
Harvesting is carried out selectively, repeatedly, before flowering. High summer temperatures force the plant to follow the arrow, so we recommend re-sowing only at the beginning of August (in Estonian climate zone). 
Culture is demanding on moisture and soil fertility.
