Spinach 'Perpetual' Strip Pack
3 FOR £10
Perpetual spinach, also known as spinach beet or perpetual chard, is a leafy green vegetable that is commonly grown for its nutritious and versatile leaves. It is an easy-to-grow, low-maintenance plant that is ideal for novice gardeners. Unlike traditional spinach, perpetual spinach is a biennial plant that produces leaves for up to two years after planting, making it a reliable and productive crop. The leaves are rich in vitamins A and C, iron, and calcium, and can be harvested and eaten fresh or cooked. Regular harvesting of the outer leaves will encourage continued growth of the plant.
Winter cultivars need a sunny position, which will provide them with the necessary warmth to develop properly. On the other hand, summer varieties benefit from a little bit of shade to avoid bolting. Spinach perpetual prefers a fertile, well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. It's recommended to add compost or well-rotted manure to the soil before planting, and to water the plant regularly to ensure that the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
