| This spinach grew very well for me here in NC where it’s hard to grow good spinach. Direct sowed in March, it germinated quickly and produced mild leaves impressively throughout erratically hot weather. I picked it even in May, which is hot here. |

| Previous reviewer referred to Space as open pollinated. This is a hybrid. Seeds will not come true. |

| Grew in in 2008 for the first time. Very reliable and tasty. Easy to grow as most spinach is. Fairly flat leaves, just a small wave to them.
I let it go to seed and re-seed itself for fall as well as collecting a large bag of seed for replanting in 2009. The saved seed came up beautifully. I started some early inside in a pot, and then outside and have been eating both for 6 weeks. I will let it bolt again this year so I can collect more seeds. Hooray for Open Pollinated Plants! |

| This is the one I grew for baby spinach, and it works well for that. It bolts early, so it's risky to let it get full grown. Nice smooth leaves. |
