Minimum germination. Did not perform well in either garden setting. Would consider it basically a failure, thought that perhaps soil may have been too warm for the crop this season.

This spinach was phenomenal. It was very productive and tasty. It was also basically disease-free and problem-free until the very end when it started to bolt due to the heat. Highly recommended.

Germination very good, much better than other spinach varieties I\'ve tried. Pretty shaped leaves if harvested early. Bolted practically overnight though, lasted well into June.
