Kings Spinach Trombone F1 Seeds

Slow growing, smooth leaf spinach with dark leaves. Has a good bolt tolerance and flexibity in sowing times at both ends of the season, making it ideal for home gardeners. Use as mature leaf or as baby leaf. Mildew resistant 1-11, 13 & 15. When to sow: March to May and July to October. Where to sow: Direct into growing site, sow thinly in shallow drills 2cm (3/4in) deep with 30cm (12in) between the rows. For later sowings, some cloche protection may be required. What to do next: As seedlings grow, gradually thin out seedlings to 15cm (6in) apart. Water well during dry spells of weather to avoid premature bolting. Pick leaves as required. Handy tip: Pick when young and add the raw baby leaves to salads. Pick leaves regularly whilst young and tender for a mild flavour.
