directly into the ground. I always dig some well-rotted compost into the soil to feed the crop<br />
throughout its growing time and it also provides the ability to retain any moisture as spinach<br />
is susceptible to premature bolting. As long as you keep watering your crop you shouldn’t have<br />
any problems. As soon as the soil becomes dry spinach plants will produce flowers and go to seed<br />
rather than provide you with new leaves.<br />
Seedlings usually appear within two weeks from sowing. I’ve never thinned out the seedlings as<br />
I’ve always used it as a “cut and come again” crop. Keep the area weed free. You don’t want<br />
anything competing for the goodness of the soil or the water you give the plants. You can start<br />
to harvest individual leaves from about eight weeks after sowing.<br />
Taking a few leaves from each plant will promote further growth and normally each plant will<br />
regrow for up to four cuts, if the plant has a continuous water supply. Alternatively a plant will<br />
have matured in around ten weeks and you can harvest by uprooting the whole plant.<br />
I tend to grow the variety ‘Spinach Lazio F1’, which is reliable. It is also one of the quicker<br />
growing varieties and it is bred for its resistance to disease and premature bolting. This variety<br />
is great for gardens and containers alike and has a good taste whether used in salads or<br />
cooked.<br />
