The USDA Zone info is a great tool for gardeners to help us figure out your gardening schedule. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Anaheim you can figure out when it's possible to plant spinach by reviewing the USDA zone info.

Since spinach do well in moderate cold you can plant them a bit earlier in the year than other plants that might not handle the cold.

The last month that you can plant spinach and expect a good harvest is probably October. Any later than that and your spinach may not have a chance to grow to maturity. Starting your spinach indoors is a great way to get them started a few weeks earlier.
