Spinach Countryside – Ontario Seed Company

Spinacia oleracea

Replaces Olympia as an improved smooth-leaf spinach. Countryside is a beautiful dark green, very uniform, baby leaf spinach variety. It has thick, smooth, round-oval leaves. Has good holding ability for a baby leaf and it has good bolt tolerance for fresh market growers and home gardeners.

How to Grow

Sow seed 12 mm (1/2″) deep and 2.5 cm (1″) apart in rows 30-45 cm (12-18″) 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 (2-3″) 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.
