Growth

A cool-weather loving green, spinach is a fast-growing relative of beets and Swiss chard. You can plant spinach in either spring or fall, or both if you want to produce a biannual harvest!

1.      Savoy varieties are characterized by their dark green crinkly leaves. They are best for planting in the fall because they become incredibly crisp in cold weather.

2.      Smooth-leafed spinach grows upright and produces leaves lighter in colour than those produced by savoy spinach. It grows quickly and easily and is the perfect addition to any summer salad.
