HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Because Bloomsdale Longstanding spinach loves cool weather and can survive sub-zero temperatures when protected sufficiently, Bloomsdale spinach seeds should be planted as soon as the ground can be worked in spring, or after the heat of summer for a fall crop. Gardeners in regions with warmer winters will be able to grow spinach all winter long. Sow the seeds in deeply worked soil 1/2" deep and 2" apart in rows 12-18" apart, later thinning the seedlings to 4-8" apart. For a continuous crop, plant more seed every 10 days until the summer heat begins; spinach seeds go dormant above temperatures of 80-85 degrees F. Spinach loves shade, and can be planted underneath tall plants such as corn or pole beans.
Growing: Because pulling weeds can disturb the roots of spinach, apply a layer of mulch. Keep the soil moist but not too wet, since an imbalance in the water supply can cause bolting. If the temperature rises above 80 degrees F, provide some sort of shade. Bloomsdale does tolerate some heat.
Harvesting: Begin harvesting the spinach leaves as soon as they grow big enough for eating. If only individual leaves are being harvested, take the larger ones on the outside of the plant. Otherwise, harvest the entire plant by cutting it off at ground level; new leaves will grow. If the plant bolts and sends up a flower stalk, the leaves will be much stronger in flavor but can still be used.
Seed Saving: Since spinach easily cross pollinates with other varieties of spinach, isolation may be necessary. For the best genetic diversity, save seed from 15-20 Bloomsdale spinach plants; do not save seed from plants that bolt early or have negative tendencies. Long days and warm temperatures will cause the plant to send up a flowering stalk. The seed pods will be mature soon after the leaves of the plant turn yellow. When handling the plant, gloves may be useful, as the pods can be prickly. The entire plant can be pulled to dry in a protected location, or left to dry outdoors if the weather is agreeable. Strip the pods from the stalk by running your hands up and down its length. Remove the dried leaves and other debris from the pods. The prickly pod can be removed or it can be planted just as it is. Store the Bloomsdale spinach seed in a cool, dry place for up to three years.

Love these..they always stay fresh in the special packets.
Perfect experience
Everwild has always been great, super fast and efficient. The post office abused the package really bad. Some of the packs we ordered were missing I called them and it was taken care of immediately. Super experience again....
Bloomsdale spinach seeds
Beautiful and functional packaging, seeds in great shape, arrived within a few days of ordering via USPS priority mail. Imlook forward to planting!
Truly a hardy spinach
We grew a bumper crop of Bloomsdale spinach last year (2022) in our community gardens, planting both a spring and fall crop using Everwilde seeds. Examining our fall bed yesterday (01/22/2023) prior to spring planting, we discovered that some plants have survived the winter even though temps dropped to below zero at night and remained below freezing for several days.

Fast delivery. Excellent product.
packaged sealed in mylar
I have not grown my seeds yet, but I'm going to order more. I was so impressed with their secure packaging. For those who like to have a little emergency supplies on hand, this is already packaged to last a long time. Saves me a lot of time and expense that I would have had to use in order to preserve my seeds. Good company that understands the need to keep some seeds on hand long term.

A good choice for zone 7. A good producer and delicious too.
Wonderful spinach
I grew these seeds in early 2020, and harvested spinach well into summer. I replanted again in the fall, and once again got a ton of greens. Good flavor and texture. The seeds shipped fast, considering the number of panic seed buying going on, and the packaging... I can not rave about the packaging enough. Overall, I'm pleased with the purchase, and will continue to look to Everwilde as a source of seeds in my garden.
Get your seeds early or in off season if possible
Start your seeds early and in rotational, I mean by that also, if your area calls to sow now then do so 2 weeks early or even earlier because some years these will do great, if not sow again and then so some more later if season lingers around for them, as sometimes there is not enough time for full maturity size when I sow by the planters guides for my area Central Alabama. These grow well and taste great, I do eat raw but like to boiled for most as when ready to harvest to keep them around longer I poach & freeze most. Also treat these planted earlier as leaf pulls only and leave stem but pull all lower leaves beneath the uppermost leaf you harvested, plants can continue to produce new growth if season permits.
Slow to produce but weather a factor
We have had a really cold spring which didn't help these plants get a start. I have harvested some but it went to seed really quickly due to heat. I plan to plant more for the fall harvest. Overall they produced a lot of plants.
Great seeds, great packaging!
I love this seed company! This is my first time ordering from Everwilde but so impressed. Spinach seeds are hearty and germinate well, and the packaging is superb! The package is a high quality zip so seeds stay safe and protected over use. The best seed experience!
NICE PACKAGING!
First time buyers, and very impressed with this company!
