Organic Regiment Spinach (Spinacia oleracea ‘Regiment’) is a productive annual variety valued for its uniform, tender, flavorful dark green foliage. Its rapid growth provides early harvests, often around 37 days after sowing, making it an excellent choice for family vegetable gardens and small growing spaces. The thick, nutritious leaves add ornamental value to the garden, forming dense, generous rows during cool seasons. Its mild flavor is ideal for fresh salads, green smoothies, stir-fries, steamed dishes, and homemade recipes.
Easy to grow, Organic Regiment Spinach prefers fertile, cool, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. It grows well in full sun to partial shade, especially when temperatures remain cool in spring or late summer. Sow from April to June, then again from August to September, at a depth of 1 to 2 cm. Consistent moisture encourages tender foliage and limits plant stress, while mulch helps keep the soil cool. Frequent harvesting of the outer leaves stimulates production and extends plant quality.
Highly versatile in the garden, Organic Regiment Spinach is well suited to food gardens, raised beds, deep planters, and urban edible landscapes. Its short growing cycle makes efficient use of open spaces between other vegetables, especially near Strawberries, Radishes, and Cabbages. It is particularly useful for maximizing spring and autumn harvests, when leafy greens offer their best texture. When plants bolt, discreet green flowers appear and may attract hoverflies and other beneficial insects. This organic variety combines yield, simplicity, and freshness in an essential cool-season vegetable.

Propagation
Propagated exclusively by seed. Successive sowings are the best way to ensure continuous harvests throughout the growing season.
Growing method
Direct sow as soon as the soil has warmed in spring or again in late summer for autumn harvests. Cover the seeds with 1 to 2 cm (0.4 to 0.8 in) of fine soil and keep the soil evenly moist until germination. This variety performs best in cool temperatures and fertile, well-drained soil. Choose a sunny location or light partial shade during warmer periods. Harvest leaves regularly to encourage continuous production. Successive sowings ensure a steady supply of fresh spinach throughout the cool growing seasons.

Watering
Spinach thrives in cool, evenly moist soil. Regular watering encourages tender leaves and helps reduce plant stress.
Soil type
This variety grows best in fertile, cool, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. High fertility promotes rapid growth and abundant foliage.
Fertilization
Incorporate mature compost before sowing to encourage vigorous growth and abundant foliage. A light nitrogen-rich organic fertilizer can support repeated harvests during the growing season.
Seasonal care
Keep the soil consistently cool to encourage continuous growth and delay bolting. Water regularly during dry periods and apply mulch to conserve moisture. Harvest leaves frequently to stimulate ongoing production. Weed around the plants to reduce competition, and sow every few weeks for extended harvests throughout the cool seasons.
Container growing
A controlled environment.
Recommended pot size
20 to 25 cm (8 to 10 in)
Regiment Spinach is exceptionally easy to grow in containers thanks to its compact habit and rapid growth. Use a container at least 20 cm (8 in) deep filled with fertile, well-drained growing mix. This variety is perfect for balconies, patios, and urban gardens where space is limited. Successive sowings provide abundant harvests during the cool seasons of spring and autumn.
