Likewise, people ask, how often do you water spinach seeds?
Spinach does best with 1-1.5 inches of rain perweek. If you don't get any rain, you'll need towater the plants yourself. They do much better with3-4 light soakings per week, as opposed to one long deepsoak.
Likewise, should spinach seeds be soaked before planting? About a week before planting, soak spinachseeds in room temperature water for 24 hours. Shift theseeds to an airtight container, and keep in a cool place forup to a week. The primed seeds will retain enough moistureto complete the first two stages of germination.
People also ask, how do you germinate spinach seeds?
Seed germinates in 7 to 14 days at or near70°F (21°C)—but sometimes seed can take up to3 weeks to germinate in cold soil. When sowing seedin summer for fall harvest, first place the seed in a foldeddamp paper towel placed in a plastic bag and kept in therefrigerator for 5 days before sowing.
Can you grow spinach from a leaf?
In order to grow spinach twice a year,plant it about 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost in thespring, and again 6 to 8 weeks before the first frost in the fall.Space plants 12 inches apart; this gives leaves room toreach full size.
