Popeye’s Grub

When to plant spinach.

Spinach is a “cool crop”.

Meaning it thrives when the daytime temp doesn’t rise above 65F.

Once the spring weather warms, a spinach plant will “bolt”.

Bolting is when the spinach plant recognizes the rising temps. So the plant will “bolt”. Which is the growth of spinach seeds and their spread. The plant’s instinct to continue is to make seeds.

Spinach is best planted 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost. A little freeze or frost does not hurt spinach. It is meant to be grown in early spring.

Until Tomorrow! Smile On!
