When do you sow spinach?
Directly into the bed direct sow april, and again august for autumn — there is no indoor phase for spinach.
When are spinach ready to harvest?
May-June and September-October, in a typical year for this climate.
Do the spinach dates change with the weather?
Yes — the window follows the frost dates of your plot. A coastal garden runs a week or two earlier; an inland frost pocket later. The published windows are the reference, your soil thermometer is the truth.
