OSC Seeds Spinach Bloomsdale Long Standing Pkg.

Approximately 400 seeds/package (50-60 seeds/gram)

Since the mid-1920s, Bloomsdale Long Standing Spinach has been the standard Savoy-leaved spinach on the market. The richly flavoured leaves are superb raw, in salads or cooked in a main dish, or on their own as a side dish. The glossy, broad, deep green, fleshy leaves are long-standing in the sun and heat. Quick growth allows for multiple crops in spring and early summer, and often again in late summer and early fall.

Sow seed 12 mm deep and 2.5 cm apart in rows 30-45 cm apart, as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring, and every two weeks after that until late spring. Thin to 5-7.5 cm after germination. This is the secret to the best crops. Sow again in mid to late August for fall crops. Top-dress with compost after seedlings are well established. Germination occurs in approximately 2 weeks.
