Sow direct from February through to October, avoiding the hottest summer months when bolting is likely. Sow seeds 1 cm deep, thinning to 10–15 cm apart. Prefers a sunny to partly shaded position in rich, moist, well-drained soil. Water regularly and feed with a nitrogen-rich fertiliser to encourage lush leafy growth. Harvest outer leaves as needed for a cut-and-come-again crop, or pull whole plants when mature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e💡 \u003cstrong\u003eGrower's tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spinach loves cool roots — a light mulch around the base will help retain moisture and keep the soil temperature down, extending your harvest season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Packet\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach packet contains \u003cstrong\u003e15 seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e of Spinach Baby Lakeside F1 Hybrid (\u003cem\u003eSpinacia oleracea\u003c\/em\u003e), with sowing and growing instructions included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chbotanics Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45307769749573,"sku":null,"price":3.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/2974\/5733\/files\/image_2b389faa-f42f-4365-a7d6-fb1d4309ed45.png?v=1783405798","url":"https:\/\/chbotanics.co.nz\/products\/spinach-baby-lakeside-f1-hybrid-seeds-spinacia-oleracea","provider":"Chbotanics Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
