Spinach, Bloomsdale
$1.00
...
‘Bloomsdale’ spinach is an heirloom variety with thick, deep green, crinkly leaves and great flavor. Hands down, my favorite spinach! Excellent raw or cooked. Spinach does best in fertile soil; amend the planting bed with compost before planting.
For “cut and come again”, harvest the leaves an inch or two above the soil, just above the growing tip. The plant will send out new leaves, and in a couple weeks you can harvest again. Once acclimated, spinach is quite cold hardy, and will usually grow (slowly!) thru the winter season, especially if given some protection such as row cover.
