LAKESIDE

25-30 days. Here’s a spinach that tops the charts in flavor, disease-resistance, uniformity and quality. If you love spinach but struggle with growing a good crop, Lakeside is worth a try since it impressed us with how well it performed in less-than-ideal conditions. Undaunted by the compromised location in the trial field, it produced healthy plants 16 inches wide and 6 inches tall, loaded with great-tasting greens. HR: DM 1-11. IR: DM 12-14.
