Coverage & Planting Details
| Coverage | This packet sows up to 1 1/2 - 10"x20" flats. |
|---|---|
| Seed Depth | ½" |
| Seed Spacing | ¾" |
| Thinning | Not required. |
| Germination | 5–10 days |
| Start Indoors | RECOMMENDED. Sow indoors any time of year, with indoor temperatures 60°–75°F. Successive Sowings: Every 2 weeks for a continual supply. |
| Direct Sow | 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date, when soil temperature is above 40°F, ideally 50°–75°F. Successive Sowings: Every 3 weeks until 4 weeks before your average first fall frost date. Soil temperatures above 85°F half germination. |
| Growing & Harvesting | When seedlings emerge, the first pair of leaves to show are the cotyledons, which can look very different from the leaves that follow, called "true" leaves. Spinach baby greens are ready to harvest 20 to 25 days after sowing, when they have true leaves, at 2"–4". Slow growers, or cool growing temperatures may require more time. Harvest by cutting just above the soil line. For more than one harvest (up to 3 before flavor declines) leave about 1/2" of leafy growth on the small plants so they can regenerate. |

I've always had difficulty in growing spinach, but this time the baby spinach is growing well in my new GreenStalk. Five stars & thumbs up.

- Keith M.FL, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 2 out of 5 stars3/7/26Almost none of my seeds germinated.
I’m afraid I’m gonna have to start from scratch on these see what was wrong I use the same soil for my tomato plants and other things and everything else came up. Could just be a bad batch. We’ll see what the rest of them do.

- Debbie M.Verified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 stars1/10/26Spinach baby green seeds
Didn’t harvest any. Slugs got to them badly. I tried everything from Neem Oil to Monterey BT spray. I am now adding beer in a small cup to my garden. I see slugs in the cup but they still get to some of my vegs

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our Spinach Baby Greens Seeds. We're really sorry to hear about the slug problem that prevented you from enjoying your harvest—that's so frustrating when you put in all that effort!
It sounds like you've been trying a lot of different approaches to tackle those pesky slugs. Slug damage can definitely be one of the trickier challenges in gardening, especially with tender greens like baby spinach that they seem to love.
We appreciate you sharing what you've experienced, as it helps other gardeners know what to watch out for. Your feedback is really valuable to us, and we're sorry this affected your growing success this time around. Keep on growing 🌻️

Seeds came well packaged, can't give 5 stars until I see the germination rates.
- Ryan M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars11/24/245 Stars
The seeds all sprouted. The harvest yield was quite low but I sowed them later in the season than recommended and we've had very little water and sunlight here the past couple months so... can't really blame the seeds for that. I'll try again in the spring and update my review if necessary.
Other than that, the price was great, shipping was prompt, packaging came with extensive planting information...will likely be buying from BI again.
