Favorite Spinach Variety?

[jcm05]

What is your favorite spinach variety. I like a smooth leaf spinach. I've tried Space and its been my favorite so far. Wish there was a similar OP variety.

Monstruex de Viroflay seems to be a good variety. It does pretty well in the winter. scientificgardener.blogspot.com/2012/01/monstrous-viroflay-spinach.html

However, I don't know what you are looking for. Are you trying to find something that is resistant to mildew?

Thanks Jay. No, I simply prefer smooth leaf and slow bolting and also like to harvest young.

I love spinach, but I can never seem to get the garden ready until it's past time to sow it, and hot weather is upon us. I wonder if fall crops would work for me up here?

I love two japanese blanched spinach salads - goma ae and oshitashi. goma ae is spinach with sesame sauce, and oshitashi is spinach with soy sauce, sesame seeds, and bonito flakes. both are great ways to use up a lot of spinach.

Try row cover, you'll be able to grow cooler season crops well into the fall - cool season crops with cover will grow well down to 14-18 degrees.

Thank you surf4grrl! I'm thinking I'll try some as a fall crop the. In zone 4B, would you suggest sowing seed in mid to late August?
