Growing method
Recommended sowing period: August to October. The depth should be 1 cm (0.4 in). Germination usually takes 7 to 14 days. For germination, keep the potting soil at 10 to 20 °C (50 to 68 °F). Distribute leafy vegetable seeds evenly to avoid overly crowded seedlings. Thin out or transplant according to the type of crop, keeping the vigorous plants. Sowing at different times allows you to harvest leaves at various stages. Label the dates to track growth. During hot periods, monitor the surface of the seedbed: it can dry out before the roots have reached a cooler layer. For leaf-by-leaf harvesting, start with the outer leaves and preserve the center of the plant. Headed types can also be harvested whole when the heart is well formed. A young leaf is generally more tender than a leaf left too long. Rinse the harvest before preparation and avoid crushing the remaining foliage. Observe the elongation of the central stem to identify the start of bolting. Leafy vegetables require harvesting adjusted to the type of plant.
Soil and care
The right care,at the right time.
Care level
Regular during establishment, then adapted to growing conditions
Watering
Regular
Soil type
Fertile, fresh, and well-drained
Fertilization
Fertilization supports growth and takes into account nutrients already present in the soil or potting mix. Use mature compost or a fertilizer suitable for the crop, following the dosage instructions. Avoid using too many products, especially in a container where the roots occupy a limited volume. Water as needed after application and observe the foliage development before re-fertilizing.
Moisture
Keep the soil moist during germination, without waterlogging; adjust thereafter to the crop.
Seasonal care
Organic ‘Verdil’ spinach is a robust and generous variety, particularly valued for its ability to extend harvests as the garden enters cooler seasons. Distribute the leafy vegetable seeds evenly to avoid a dense carpet of seedlings. Thin out or transplant according to the type of cultivation, keeping the most vigorous plants. Staggered sowings allow for harvesting leaves at different stages. Identify the dates to track growth. During hot periods, monitor the surface of the seedbed: it can dry out before the roots have reached a cooler layer. For leaf-by-leaf harvesting, start with the outer leaves and preserve the center of the plant. Headed varieties can also be harvested whole when the heart is well-formed. A young leaf is generally more tender than a leaf left too long. Rinse the harvest before preparation and avoid crushing the remaining foliage. Observe the elongation of the central stem to spot the beginning of bolting. Leafy vegetables require harvesting adjusted to the type of plant. Outer picking preserves the heart when you want to continue production. Very old leaves do not offer the same tenderness as young shoots. Rinse the harvest just before use or dry it carefully before a short stay in the refrigerator. Its fresh and pleasant flavor lends itself well to salads as well as soups, stir-fries, and cooked dishes, offering great versatility in the kitchen.
Container growing

Suitable for containers
Yes
Recommended pot size
Punctured and stable container, wide enough for the plant to spread out and deep enough for the roots
Choose this exposure: sun to partial shade. Reserve this spread around the plant: 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12 in). A leafy green planter allows for a harvest close to the kitchen. Use all available surface area without crowding plants against the rim. Headed types require more space than leaves harvested very young. Check the humidity regularly and water under the foliage as much as possible. Harvest with clean scissors and remove damaged leaves to keep the heart accessible and aerated.

Garden associations
In goodcompany.
Companion plants
In a diversified planting, you can dedicate neighboring sections to these plants: strawberries, cabbages, peas, and celery. Here, the arrangement serves to organize space and harvests. Respect the height, light, and water needs of each plant, without crowding the foliage. Maintain an aisle for watering and harvesting, then remove finished crops to free up space. This organization facilitates maintenance but does not promise protection against pests. Leafy greens benefit from being placed near a pathway, as they are often harvested in small quantities.

Edible parts
Leaves
Cooking idea with 'Verdil' Spinach: vegetable stir-fry for four servings. Prepare 400 g of the harvested part, one clove of garlic, 15 ml of oil, and 30 ml of water. Cut the stems, ribs, or firm parts into small pieces and keep the leaves separate. Heat the oil, sauté the garlic without burning it, then add the firm pieces and water. Cover for a few minutes. Add the leaves or tender parts afterward and continue until desired texture is reached. Season to taste and serve hot. Prepare ingredients with clean utensils and adjust the cutting to the size of your harvest. This recipe highlights freshly picked parts: remove damaged pieces before preparation. If doubling the quantities, ensure enough space in the pan to mix or cook evenly. Quickly place leftovers in the refrigerator in a closed container and consume within two days. For a meal for two people, simply divide all quantities by two.
