Spinacia oleracea Item #7603 LARGE PACKET 28-45 days. Be strong to the finish and eat your spinach! In the 1930s, the spinach industry gave credit to the cartoon character Popeye for a 33% increase in national spinach consumption. Today, we don't need a beefy sailor to sell us on its benefits. If you haven't grown spinach before, the freshness and quality of homegrown will win you over. Bloomsdale is an old, dependable, open-pollinated variety that is equally delicious full grown or as a baby leaf. It's very nutritious--lots of vitamins A and C, and iron. Spinach plants are very cold tolerant. If you have limited space, or want to grow spinach in the off-season, you can grow it in a container!
