PLANTING INSTRUCTIONSSpinach grows best in fertile, nitrogen-rich soil. Sow the seeds at a depth of ¼ inches. Spinach matador likes to grow in semi-shades hence it is advisable to plant it between other taller crops like beans and carrots. Overcrowding can lead to stunted growth and to manage this, the seedlings must be thinned to 4-6 inches apart when they have developed their first true leaves. Prepare some shade for spinach matador plants in case the temperature soars above 30 °C. Spinach matador seedlings are difficult to transplant and it is best to sow the seeds directly outside.GROWING REQUIREMENTSPESTSSince spinach grows in a rather colder environment, pests are not as big of a problem. However, some pests like leafminers and aphids can still cause the spinach leaves to turn brown or cause them to blight. Use an organic spray to deter these pests. In addition to these, downy mildew can occur due to wet weather which can be avoided by letting the leaves dry out.SOILSpinach matador grows well in nitrogen-rich, well-drained soils with the soil pH ranging between 6.5 to 7.SPOTSpinach matador must be grown in partial shade for best taste and flavours.TEMPERATUREIdeal germination temperature for spinach matador seeds must range between 15-20 ℃(60-68 ℉)WATERINGSpinach matador likes cool and moist soil. However, soggy soil may cause the plant to die. Hence proper drainage is essential for the successful growth of spinach matador. Evenly water the soil at root crown level frequently to keep the soil cool.HOW TO HARVESTSpinach matador leaves can be harvested once the plant has 6-8 leaves that are 3-4 inches long. Cutting the outermost leaves first as per the requirement will lengthen the harvest period of the plant. In case you wish to harvest the entire plant, cut just above the soil surface and right below the crown with a sharp knife.
