Giant Nobel Spinach

Germinated well

We had a stretch of multiple weeks of unusual cold in zone 6, including several days of single digit days, and below zero nights. I had my garden beds covered in frost cloth/hoops, and just uncovered them expecting everything to be dead. Shockingly, not only did this spinach survive--it kept growing during the extreme cold!!! I was able to harvest enough for a salad for dinner for three of us. I had another variety planted that looks alive, but lost a lot of leaves to the cold and definitely didn't grow during the cold. Needless to say, this will be my go-to for wintertime gardening.

Delicious early spring vegetable!

The taste and texture of this spinach is great! We plant it in the fall and overwinter, ate spinach all winter long! We had sub zero temps for 10 days in January, covered it with straw and when we took off the straw, harvested spinach until it bolted in May. I’ll always plant Giant Nobel.
