How to Sow Seeds

Growing notes: Sow RHS Perpetual Gator spinach seeds 12mm (1/2in) deep in rows 30cm (12in) apart from early spring to late summer. Firm the soil down gently and keep the seedlings moist as they germinate. Seedlings appear in approximately 10-14 days. Thin plants to 30cm (12in) apart once they develop their first pair of true leaves, keep the soil moist, and remove weeds regularly for best results. Harvest leaves as needed once they are a good size, picking from the outside to encourage new growth; for continuous crops, sow more seeds every 2-3 weeks during the growing season.
