INTRODUCING SPINACH SEEDS

Spinach seeds originally come from Persia. Rich in iron, spinach has been used fresh or cooked for a long time worldwide. It is also renowned for its high vitamin and mineral content. This is a versatile green, used in salads and sandwiches, smoothies, and cooked dishes. Spinach grows well in USDA hardiness zones 2 to 11. Its tolerance to lower temperatures allows an early start in spring and extended growth into the fall.

HOW TO PLANT SPINACH SEEDS

When the soil is workable in early spring, you can begin planting spinach seeds directly in the garden. For a fall crop, they can also be planted in late summer. Sow them around 1/2 inch deep, spacing seeds 3 inches apart. Distance in rows ought to be 12 to 18 inches. Spinach seeds germinate best in cool soil. They emerge in 5 to 14 days. Succession planting every couple of weeks is advised for a steady supply.

MAINTAINING SPINACH PLANTS

To grow into lush, tender leaves with good flavor, spinach requires consistent moisture. Regular watering is important, especially during drought. A layer of mulch will keep the soil moist and the roots cool. Thinning seedlings will provide the plants room to mature (about 6 inches). Spinach leaves can be harvested as baby greens, or when they grow to full size. Regular harvesting is beneficial, as it can encourage bushier growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques. You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds chemically treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our seeds. All of our garden seeds are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

Will your seeds grow in my USDA Hardiness zone?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these garden seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO, heirloom varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
