SPINACH (Spinacia oleracea) 250 seeds per packet. One of the hardiest vegetables, spinach is grown as a spring or an autumn crop, but quickly runs to seed in the long, hot days of summer. Sow in spring several weeks before last frost date; in autumn, sow right up to first frost. Seed is planted up to one-half inch deep; allow 3-6 inches between plants. The plant needs very rich, moist soil to thrive. Harvest often to keep the plants producing..
