Little Veggie Patch Heirloom Seeds - Spinach

Prepare the beds by digging through compost and well-rotted manure a week prior to planting. Make sure the soil drains well. Full sun, part shade. Does not tolerate hot conditions. Plant next to your strawberries, as they tend to work well as companions. Sow the seeds directly into the veggie patch at most times of the year, however propagate in a mini greenhouse when it is too hot or too cold and then look to transplant once conditions become more mild.

When to plant (see zone map on sachet to find your zone):
Zone 1: October – December + March - May
Zone 2: September – December + March - May
Zone 3: April – October
Zone 4: May - June

Australia

Australia has diverse climatic zones from the tropical far north to the cold of Tasmania so there may be some tweaking for where you live. In general, the cooler months with less harsh sun is the time for:

• beans, broad beans and peas
• bulbs like onion, shallots, garlic
• Brassicas like broccoli, broccolini, cauliflower
• tomatoes, eggplant
• root vegetables like radish, beetroot, turnip and potato
• spinach, salad greens, silverbeet
• herbs, chives, coriander, parsley.

MOST IMPORTANT TIP: Just do it! Don't get caught up in not knowing what to do. Put some seeds in pots in a sunny spot and give it a go. Learn as you grow. Keep the water up and fertilise fortnightly with liquid seaweed.
