Do it now. Trust me. Do it before the first snow, planted any way you like; broadcast atop the soil, buried slightly in rows, it doesn’t matter. Spinach will spend the winter getting ready to burst forth in great profusion in spring. And I mean GREAT profusion.
By comparison, spinach I sow in spring — no matter how early — does, well, pretty much ahhh. Marginal.
I don’t have a good photo of spinach because we ate it all.

Thank you Peter! I’m running out right now and will keep watch for next spring’s profusion.
Good idea! You seemed a little overwhelmed in your last email missive, so I prescribe gardening, my friend.
wonderfully inspiring!
I ran out to my weedy boxes, and planted some spinach.
I am sure lots of people did.
thanks for all you do, and inspire.
