Bred in the Northwest for flavor and bolt resistance rather than yield alone, Countryside Spinach delivers leaves loaded with an exceptional synergistic blend of vitamins, minerals, flavonoids, and carotenoids. You can harvest baby greens as early as 3 to 4 inches, pick individual leaves at any stage, or wait for full maturity depending on your preference. The careful selection process behind this variety means you're growing spinach chosen for how it tastes and how reliably it performs, not just a generic green.
Countryside Spinach works beautifully in raw salads when harvested young and tender, retaining a bright, delicate flavor perfect for fresh eating. The leaves also excel in cooked preparations where their nutritional profile remains intact through brief wilting in pasta dishes, soups, or sautés. Baby leaf harvests are ideal for mesclun mixes and salad blends, while mature plants provide hearty handfuls for more substantial preparations.

Direct sow Countryside Spinach seeds in cool-season beds, spacing seeds 1 inch apart in rows 12 inches apart. Sow in early spring as soon as soil can be worked, or in late summer for fall harvest.
For baby greens, harvest leaves when plants reach 3 to 4 inches tall by cutting at the base. Individual leaves can be picked at any stage of growth, snipping outer leaves first to encourage continued production. Harvest when plants are cool, ideally in early morning, then immediately rinse leaves under cold water and refrigerate to lock in crispness and nutrients.
