Spinach Renegade: The All-Season Superstar for Continuous Harvests

Spinach Renegade is a remarkable all-season variety that stands out for its smooth, dark green leaves and exceptional eating quality. This F1 hybrid matures quickly, ready for harvest in just 40 days, making it an ideal choice for gardeners seeking rapid results. Its fast regrowth capability sets it apart, allowing for multiple harvests throughout the growing season[1][3].

Renegade’s premier eating quality makes it a versatile choice for both raw and cooked applications. The smooth, dark green leaves are perfect for salads, sandwiches, and smoothies, while also holding up well when cooked. This variety boasts high resistance to downy mildew (races 1-7, 11, 13, 15, 18) and cucumber mosaic virus, ensuring a healthy crop even in challenging conditions[6]. Its exceptional bolt resistance allows for extended harvests, even as temperatures rise[2].

This compact spinach variety grows to a height of 10 inches, with a spread of 12-18 inches. Plant Renegade seeds 15 inches apart in rows, or sow more densely for baby leaf production. The plants thrive in full sun to partial shade, making them adaptable to various garden locations. For a continuous harvest, sow seeds every two weeks throughout the growing season[1][4].

Growing Success Tips:

• Maintain consistent soil moisture for optimal growth and flavor
• Harvest outer leaves regularly to encourage continued production
• Provide partial shade in hot weather to prevent bolting
• Fertilize with a balanced, organic fertilizer every 4-6 weeks

Spinach Renegade offers an unparalleled combination of disease resistance, bolt tolerance, and superior taste, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. Its ability to produce high-quality leaves throughout the season ensures a reliable supply of nutritious greens for your table.

For an extra boost of nutrients, try harvesting Renegade as baby spinach when leaves are just 3-4 inches tall.
