Delicious - harvested all winter in hoop-house
by Dorothy
Delicious, thick leaves do get real big. I overwintered this spinach in an unheated hoop-house in zone 6a. By the end of April it was too hot for it there. I was able to harvest it about every 10 days during November and December. January was pretty cloudy and harvest slowed to once a month through the end of February. March and April I harvested every 5 to 6 days.
easy spinach
by SARA
I like this spinach so much better than the crinkly leaved varieties. Nice sized leaves are easy to rinse off. Delicious!
not my favorite but still good
by SEAN
Compared with bloomsdale spinach planted in the same beds at the same time in previous years I did not have very good germination with this one. The plants that did come up were all great in terms of taste/texture/growth and pests left them alone but I think I will go back to Bloomsdale
Not successful this year
by Jill
Have had success before but not thus past year. Low germination and almost immediately went to seed though temperatures were very mild in my area of Wisconsin. Was very disappointed
