New Zealand spinach isn't a true spinach at all, but you use it in much the same way. It's a natural species variety and a tough pioneer plant that's super-easy to grow. Unlike regular spinach, it will thrive in hot weather as well as cool, and if you leave it to self-seed, you'll never lack fresh spinach in your garden. Many folks find that New Zealand spinach is much tastier than the regular sort. Try it and see whether you agree!

How to Sow
The seeds are big, so you can space them out easily when sowing direct. They can also be germinated in trays. While germinating, they should be kept moist but not constantly soggy. Reduce watering after germination.
How to Harvest
Cut the leaves to the base of the stems using some sharp scissors or secateurs. If you are not going to use the leaves immediately, stand them in water to keep them fresh or wrap them in plastic to retain moisture.
