To any and all Spinach growers. Feel free to post any and all informations, thoughts, photos etc. regarding the GTS spinach blend grow and any additional spinach grows you are working with in 2025. I planted my first spinach beds just this past week out this way in my wacky mountain climate.
I am trialing spinach from Turkey, China, Georgia (the country), and Hungary alongside my ongoing ‘Only Rain’ (no additional water) year two grow. All under the supervision of my goats - who, sadly, are not allowed to participate but make fantastic observers.
This spring it has proven chaotic due to storm damage and other issues facing our family farm. I had originally planned to direct sow the spinach but instead I am starting half of the seeds in an outdoor covered container made from a 3 gallon cooking oil jug. There are small quantities of purple orach and strawberry spinach together.
Here in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky, I have had the seeds in the planter for about five days with no germination yet from any of these three. It’s been in the 70° range several times so I expect germination soon.

Best of luck with your grow and I pray the weathers calm down and bring you more ease in the weeks and months ahead. Thanks for sharing!
