Spinaci invernaliHow do I sow winter spinach outdoors?
To sow winter giant spinach outdoors, we recommend doing so in autumn, around September or October. Before sowing, it's essential to prepare the soil by weeding and working it deeply so that it's well aerated. Next, make rows about 30 cm apart and place the spinach seeds about 5 cm apart. Cover lightly with soil and tamp gently.
Be sure to keep the soil moist during germination. Spinach prefers soil rich in organic matter, so there's no need for chemical fertilisers. Remember to mulch the soil well to conserve moisture and reduce the need for watering. When spinach plants start to grow, be sure to protect them from snails and slugs, which can damage the leaves.
By following these tips, you'll be able to harvest good, nutrient-rich, flavour-packed winter baby spinach to enhance your dishes throughout the cold season.
