Spinach is a cold-resistant crop, sowing in open ground as early as possible, in late April - early May, to a depth of 1.5-2 cm. The culture is demanding soil fertility and moisture.
High temperatures cause bolting, and a short day delays leaf development. Therefore, the most optimal is sowing 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 cause the plant to go into the arrow, so re-sowing is recommended only in early August. Demanding moisture and soil fertility.
