Select a sunny to partially shaded spot with well-drained soil. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of about 6 inches and incorporating compost or aged manure. Sow the seeds directly into the soil, planting them 1/2 inch deep and spacing them 6 to 8 inches apart in rows. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the germination period, which typically takes 7 to 14 days. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest spinach leaves when they are young and tender, typically 35 to 50 days after planting, for best flavor and texture.
