Spinach is one of our most temperature-sensitive, cold-season crops. Given that we establish over-wintering crops during the hottest months of summer, how do we tackle the spinach-germination challenge? #PNWwintercropping @CultivateOregon #PPCAgProject facebook.com/groups/pnwwintergardening/permalink/2781460945477322/

Quoted byRT @AgrarianSharing: By now, we've been seeding overwintering crops onto the nursery tables for months. Spinach, however, we treat differently. Always tricky this time of year (its germ declines above 68 °F), heatwaves complicate the picture further. Lowtech spinach propagation in 100° temps, then...Quoted byRT @AgrarianSharing: By now, we've been seeding overwintering crops onto the nursery tables for months.

But why, as temperatures climb, only now, when we've been seeding cold season crops, in the sunny outside, for months? Spinach, a tricky customer. #agrariansharingnetwork #ppcAgProject
