How to succeed growing cool-season spinach in hot weather

Question

Tigercat variety is for cool, coastal weather here in N. Calif. I want to grow it in hot mountainous climate. What precautions will help me succeed?

Answer 1

It will still be difficult, but them best thing you can do is to provide protection from the sun and keep the roots cool.

For protection from the sun, take a look at row covers or plant in dappled shade.

For the roots, heavy mulching and drip irrigation with cool water is the best route. Good luck!
