Transplants should be planted near the last frost-free date for the growing area. Temperatures down to 32 ☏ do not seriously damage young plants. Spinach grows best when temperatures do not exceed 75 ☏. Dense plantings will reduce weed pressure. Seeded or transplanted spinach should be spaced 3 inches between plants in the row with rows 12 inches apart. Generally 5-6 weeks are required to grow transplants to this size. Transplants should have 4-6 mature leaves and a well-developed root system before planting out. Plants removed at thinning can be transplanted to adjacent areas if some roots are maintained. Thin stands when plants have 3-4 true leaves. Temperatures above 80 ☏ reduce seed germination. Seeds germinate best at 55-65 degrees F and require 7-10 days to emerge. Spinach seed can be sown after soils reach 40 degrees F. Spinach can be grown from seed or transplants. If you fertilize with compost, apply no more than 1 inch of well-composted organic matter per 100 square feet of garden area. If fertilizer applications are warranted, work the fertilizer into the top 6 inches of soil. Soil Preparationīefore planting, determine fertilizer needs with a soil test and then follow the recommendations given with the test report. Most soils in Utah are well suited for spinach production. Spinach prefers fertile, well-drained soils rich in organic matter for best growth. Varieties suited to local conditions include Bloomsdale, Melody, Teton, and Olympia. There are many good varieties for sale in local gardening outlets and through seed catalogs.

Harvest spinach when the leaves reach full size. Control insects and diseases throughout the year. Avoid water or fertilizer stress during growth. Spinach tastes best when plants grow rapidly and mature before the heat of summer. Thin seedlings or transplant spinach to 3 inches apart in the row with rows 12 inches apart. Plant seeds ½ inch deep, 2-3 weeks before the last frost in the spring. The content of soluble solids content was initially 19.0 ☋rix and increased as the storage period elapsed till it reached 19.5-25.3 ☋rix in 10 weeks, and it least changed in Ny+PE-Vac and OPP-3 of all the treated ginsengs.Ī change in microbial population was relatively less in OPP-3 and Ny+PE-Vac and the sensory quality of ginseng in OPP-2 and OPP-3 was the best during storage.Spinach is a cool-season vegetable that prefers sunny locations and fertile, well-drained soil. It was found that, the CO 2 levels in OPP-2 and OPP-3 packages increased more than in OPP-1 and CN-PE during storage.ĭuring the storage, there was no significant difference in the moisture content and firmness of the treated fresh ginseng. After that, it was stored at 0☌ for 10 weeks so as to determine changes in the quality. To investigate the effects of its packaging and packaging environments on the quality of washed fresh ginseng, the ginseng was put into a polypropylene tray and tightly sealed with a 0.035-mm thick OPP film (OPP-1, normal air in package OPP-2, 50% air replaced with N 2 and OPP-3, 100% N 2), packaged with a 0.08-mm thick PE film (CN-PE) or vacuum packaged with a 0.1-mm thick Ny + PE film (Ny+PE-Vac).
