description

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.

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.
