We'll start planting fall spinach starting around August 15th or later depending on timing of other plantings and weather outlook. I have to sow it thicker as germination is not as good. Keep it well watered (daily for me) to get it up in the heat.
I'll keep planting small batches through Sept./early Oct. Later plantings will overwintering under some row cover (lost some of these this last year due to the very cold winter). For these later plantings I like Tyee but also plant some smooth leaf varieties so we have a mix in the spring.
Good luck with yours!
