This is not a true spinach, but the leaves resemble spinach leaves and are produced in abundance on stems a foot or more in length. It will grow during hot weather when other spinach will not produce. A short row in your garden will furnish nice "greens" all summer.

SOWING:
Plant seed outdoors as soon as the danger of frost is past. Plant in rows 2 feet apart, spacing seeds 2 inches apart in the row. Cover seed with 1/2 inch of fine soil, well pressed down. Keep soil moist until seeds start to grow.

THINNING:
When plants are 1 to 2 inches tall, thin or transplant, spacing plants about 6 to 8 inches apart.

GERMINATION:
New Zealand spinach is very slow to germinate, taking 2 to 3 weeks.

REMARKS:
An excellent mid-summer crop. The leaves can be cut frequently, as new leaves develop replacing the older lower leaves that are removed.
