Spinach Monstrueux de Viroflay (Heirloom)
Spinacia oleracea
Days to maturity: 28 - 40. Also known as simply, "Viroflay", the huge, deep green, tender leaves are a spinach lover's gourmet delight! Give it a bit more room in your plot; the plant can get up to 24" wide, and with 10" long, tender leaves, spinach production is a snap! Extremely vigorous, and particularly good for fall plantings. Use the thinned out seedlings fresh in salads.
This packet plants three 11 foot rows.
Days to Emerge: 5 - 10
Seed Depth: 1/2"
Seed Spacing: A group of 3 seeds every 12" - 18"
Row Spacing: 1'
Thinning: When 4"-6" tall thin to 1 every 12" - 18"
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost, or as soon as the soil can be worked. Successive sowings thereafter every 3 weeks until 4 weeks before the first fall frost. If mulched, spinach can overwinter in sub-zero temperatures.
When to start inside: Not recommended.
Harvesting: Pick individual leaves from outer edges of plant as they become big enough to use, or cut the whole plant 1" above the ground, and new leaves will be produced. Harvest before the plant sends up a flower stalk.
