Bloomsdale spinach, a gem in the green world with its scientific alias, Spinacia oleracea, and a member of the Amaranthaceae family. This heirloom variety stands out in the crowd, boasting a rich, robust flavor that lingers on the palate. Its dark green leaves, crinkled and textured like the waves of the sea, are tender yet tough, perfectly suited for both fresh, crisp salads and hearty, cooked dishes. Loved by green thumbs and culinary enthusiasts alike, it's a versatile powerhouse packed with nutritional goodness.

Growing Bloomsdale spinach is relatively straightforward; it thrives best in cool weather and can be planted in early spring or fall. The plant prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.5 and 7.5; it should be placed in an area that receives full sun to partial shade. To ensure optimal growth, maintain consistent moisture levels and avoid waterlogging the soil. Bloomsdale spinach typically matures in about 45 to 55 days, allowing for multiple harvests within a season if planted successively.

In terms of uses, Bloomsdale spinach is highly valued for its rich content of vitamins. It can be consumed raw in salads, blended into smoothies, or cooked in a variety of dishes such as soups, sautés, and casseroles. The leaves retain their texture and flavor well during cooking, making them a versatile ingredient in the kitchen. Whether you are an experienced gardener or a novice, Bloomsdale spinach offers an easy to grow, nutritious addition to your garden and diet.

How to Save Seeds 

Spinach plants do readily cross so I would recommend at least 1 mile from other spinach plants. When days grow longer and rise in temps your spinach will start to seed. When the plant starts to turn yellow the seed should be ready. Pluck up spinach is they start to bolt to soon, or in other words before the rest of the plants go to seed.
