Spinach English Punnet
English Spinach is a delicious and versatile leafy green, loved for its tender, deep green leaves and fresh, mild flavour. Easy to grow and wonderfully productive, it’s a fantastic addition to the home vegetable garden and perfect for picking fresh whenever you need it.
The young leaves are delicious eaten raw in salads and sandwiches, while larger leaves are perfect for cooking. Use them in stir-fries, soups, pasta, curries, quiches, omelettes or simply wilted with a little butter or olive oil.
English Spinach prefers the cooler growing months and performs best in rich, fertile, well-drained soil with regular moisture. Plant in full sun during cooler weather or give it some afternoon protection as temperatures begin to rise.
Tip: Harvest the outer leaves first and leave the young centre growth intact. This allows your English Spinach to keep producing fresh leaves, giving you multiple harvests from the same plant.
