Spinach - Corvair

Corvair: Smooth, oval leaves are dark green and upright for easy harvesting. High yield potential and widely adapted for spring or fall production. Planting tips: Direct seed as soon as soil can be worked in spring; seed again in late summer through early fall. Provide ample fertility and moisture. Baby leaf: sow 40 seeds/ft in 2-4” bands with ¾” between bands. Full size: see planting chart for instructions. Seed Planting Depth - ¼ inch, Seed Spacing - 6 per foot, Days to Germination - 7-14 days, Plant spacing after thinning - 6 inches, Row spacing - 8 inches, Plant height - 12 inches. Sow every 7 days for a continual harvest.

Saving Seeds: Plants should be harvested when ⅔ of the seeds are mature. Run hands along stocks with a bucket placed below to catch seeds as they fall. Discard stripped stalks. Once seeds are detached, rub between hands to break up clusters. Use a small sieve to sift out debris. Seeds can be stored in a cool dry place for up to 6 years.
