Winter spinach is different from autumn spinach. Winter spinach is mainly eaten earlier in the spring of the following year, and the yield is relatively high. Planting winter spinach, like planting scallions, has strict requirements for sowing time. In northern regions, it is generally planted around October, with different planting times in different regions. Early or late planting is not conducive to overwintering. Generally, a daily average temperature of around 18 degrees Celsius is suitable for planting, and it grows to around 5-6 leaves before winter, Only then can we safely survive the winter. Still, the specific planting time needs to be determined based on the local climate.
Planting methods for overwintering spinach
1. Winter spinach should choose varieties suitable for autumn sowing and mid to late ripening, as good varieties play a crucial role in growth and yield.
2. First, prepare the soil, plow deeply and carefully, prepare the field borders, apply base fertilizer, and level it with a rake to facilitate planting.
3. Before sowing, soak the seeds in water for 10 hours before sowing. Pay attention to watering them before sowing. If it is for planting in a furrow, spread the seeds evenly on the furrow. If it is for flat planting, use strip sowing, whether it is for sowing or strip sowing. After sowing, cover the soil with about 1-1.5 centimeters of soil. If the soil is too thick, it will affect the emergence of seedlings.
