How to Sow Seeds

Growing notes: Sow Perpetual Spinach from spring to autumn, or through winter in warmer areas. Plant the seeds thinly, about 12mm (1/2in) deep in rows 30cm (12in) apart. For a continuous crop, sow repeatedly at three-week intervals. Once seedlings are established, thin them out to 30cm (12in) apart. Water well during dry spells to keep the plants thriving.

Seedlings typically emerge in 14-21 days.
