What season and climate does exotic baby spinach need?

True spinach for tender baby leaf is a cool season crop and grows best in cool weather, roughly 10 to 22 C. In the plains it is a winter crop, while hills give a longer window. In heat it bolts quickly and the leaf turns bitter and coarse, so the cool months give the best soft salad leaf. Because baby leaf is harvested young, you can do successive sowings through the cool season for continuous supply. It can also be grown under net or protected beds to extend the window. Confirm exact timing for your region with your KVK.
