Keep soil consistently moist during germination and growth to encourage tender, flavorful leaves. Although this variety is slow to bolt, providing afternoon shade during warmer weather can help extend the harvest. Pick young outer leaves regularly for fresh salads or allow plants to mature for larger harvests. Sow additional seeds every 2–3 weeks during cooler weather for a continuous supply of fresh spinach.
