Overwintered Spinach Variety Trial, 1981-1982

In northern states, spinach is normally planted in early spring for late spring harvest or in late summer for autumn harvest. Spring plantings are often limited by the difficulty of working cold, wet soils and many varieties bolt in the long daylengths and increasing temperatures of late spring. Autumn crops must be established during periods of very high soil temperature and low soil moisture and require frequent irrigation.
