Description for Spinach all green
Spinach has similar growing conditions and requirements as lettuce, but it is more versatile in both its nutrition and its ability to be eaten raw or cooked.

Tip a small amount of seed into your hand, take a pinch and spread thinly along the trench. Cover with soil, label and water.
