This is 20 sq ft out of a 4' X 8' rise bed, i.e. 32 sq ft. Rows are 6" apart, seeds were planted about 1.5" apart.
Planted in October and will over winter under snow and freezing weather. Early spring 2023 these plants will take off and provide early greens. We have been over wintering spinach this way for years.
Spinach that has gone through freeze cycles is very tasty.

A post from years ago we tried under a cover for the winter. Now we don't bother with any sort of cover.

who knew! I thought spinach was seeded in the spring and ... voila ... in a couple of weeks you have a nice crop.
I suppose the warming climate helps with not needing a cover.
thanks for the details ...

Elliot is looking serious. Bomb Cyclone!
Temperature here will drop from the 50's into 20's just as the storm moves out Friday afternoon, it's going to get very slippery around here.
