Sow seeds March to August, every 3 or 4 weeks. Sow seeds thinly, 1cm (½in) deep in broad drills 30cm (12in) apart. Sow regularly every 3 or 4 weeks for continuous supply of fresh leaves and tender stems.

Thin seedlings to 5-7cm (2-3in) apart to increase the yield, as plants will make multiple side shoots.

Water well during dry periods and also to increase leaf production.

  1. Awesome

    I love stir fry spinach which I normally buy 2 pack from supermarket. The taste is same as it described - UNIQUE! You do not get the bitter after taste with this spinach and the texture is very smooth and silky. I probably didn't give enough watering and it started to seed but from sow to crop it takes 6 weeks. A 2 meter row on a raised bed gives me just enough to serve 5 people. We are big veggie eater and never have enough. Just stir fry with garlic and you want to have more and more!!!
