SPINACH (Spinacia
oleracea)
DAYS TO MATURITY: 39-70 days.
PLANTING TIME: Plant spinach outside four to six weeks before the last frost-free date in the spring,
then again in late summer for a fall crop. In warm areas, plant it during the winter.
SOIL:
Light, thoroughly worked, with plenty of organic matter added; pH 6.0-7.5.
NUTRIENTS: Add
nitrogenous fertilizer while the crop is actively growing. Use fish emulsion or 1 tablespoon of blood meal mixed in
1 gallon of water.
WATER: Give spinach plenty of overhead watering.
LIGHT:
Full sun.
SPACING: Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep; thin to 6 inches apart.
HARVEST: You can harvest just the leaves or cut the whole plant off at the soil line.
STORAGE:
Use fresh; some varieties can be frozen.
Spinach Growing Tips
Flowering Spinach
Some spinach varieties bolt to flower after a few warm spring days, while others will stand quite a bit of
heat. In general, longer days and higher temperatures (above 75 degrees F) hasten flowering. If your spinach tends
to bolt early, try planting three or four long standing varieties. From these, select the one that works best in your
garden.
Cut Back
To stop spinach from flowering, cut the plant back to the ground when
it has just four or five leaves. As soon as new leaves appear, harvest again. If you wait too long hoping the
leaves will grow big, you end up with less spinach.

and easily punctured. All fruit should be picked (whether eaten or not) to keep the plant producing.
STORAGE: Use fresh or pickle.
Summer Squash Growing Tips
Playing
Bee
If mature squash plants produce few fruit, the problem may be a lack of bees. So collect the
yellow pollen with an artist's brush, and dust the female flowers (the ones with tiny squash at the base). Put pollen
on the tip of the small fruit above the flower (the stigma).
Baby Squash
You don't
need any particular variety to create a baby squash. Simply pick miniature-size squash with the blossoms still on the
fruit. Cook and serve them whole.
Greater Yields
Few gardeners actually want
to improve the yields of summer squash. But if you do don't mind being overrun with squash, try mulching with aluminized
film. Experiment-station research shows this significantly boots yields.

SQUASH (WINTER)
(Cucurbita maxima and C. moschata)
DAYS TO MATURITY: 50-220
days.
PLANTING TIME: Plant seeds in the ground after the last frost, when night temperatures
are remaining above 50 degrees F.
SOIL: Rich and well-manured; pH 6.0-7.5.
NUTRIENTS:
Fertilize the plants with nitrogen only during the growth period before blooming.
WATER:
Give squash plenty of water.
LIGHT: Full sun.
SPACING:
Sow seeds 1 inch deep, 3 feet apart for bush type, 6-8 feet apart for vine types.
HARVEST: Let
winter squashes mature fully on the vines until their skins are extremely hard. Cut them from the vine, leaving a 2-3-inch
stem on each squash.
STORAGE: Cure the squashes in the sun for a week or more; store them
in a cool, dry place over the winter.
Winter Squash Growing Tip
Squash Basics
Before harvesting winter squash for storage, push your thumbnail against the squash as hard as you can. If
the outer skin doesn't break easily, the squash will keep a long time. If you can cut the skin with little effort,
it will probably rot in storage. In the latter case, cook the squash within a few days.
