The method and time of growing spinach varies depending on the season and region. In China, spinach can be planted all year round, and can be divided into spring spinach, summer spinach, autumn spinach and winter spinach according to the planting season.
1.Spring spinach: Spring spinach is planted in early spring in March, and the temperature rises above 5 degrees Celsius before it can be sown. It can be harvested one to two months after planting.
2.Summer spinach: Summer spinach is planted in May-July, grows quickly, and is harvested in June-September.
3.Autumn spinach: Autumn spinach is planted in August and September, with strong heat tolerance, and can be harvested in September and October.
4.Winter spinach: Winter spinach is planted from October to November, has strong cold tolerance, and is harvested around the Spring Festival.
Planting Method:1Sowing seedlings: Spinach is planted by dispersion. Soak the seeds in water for 12 hours before sowing, put them in the refrigerator for 24 hours after soaking, take them out and place them in an environment at a temperature of 20-25 degrees to promote germination, they can germinate in about 3-5 days, and they can be sown after germination. In order to ensure the yield, about 35kg, water once after sowing, cover the soil 2-3cm, keep the soil moist, and the seedlings can be gathered in about a week.
2.Field management: Spinach has strong growth, as long as it emerges, it can grow on its own, but in order to ensure the yield, it needs to be thinned when it grows true leaves, and the seedlings can be weeded in time. Grow 3-4 true leaves can be watered with thin fertilizer once, and should not be too thick when fertilizing, so as not to cause root burning and death due to excessive fertility.
In conclusion, the timing and method of growing spinach varies depending on the season and region, but overall, choosing the right season and sowing method, as well as strengthening field management, can help spinach grow and increase yields.
