SPINACH-WARRIGAL-NZ is a very old heirloom, it was introduced to England & Europe in 1772. It’s not related to true spinach, but its leaves have a very similar more mild taste. Used in the same manner as spinach but the plant is very different. It does not bolt in hot weather or usually turn bitter. It is heat resistant & does well in warm weather. Produces profusely all season if kept picked. It is wonderful cooked & fresh. High in vitamin C. A wonderfully unique addition to the garden!
Seeds tend to have a lower germ rate, soaking seeds in warm water for 24 hours will help. Direct sow outdoors after danger of serious frost has passed, from mid-spring to early summer, covering with fine soil in full to partial sun. Keep soil moderately moist during germination. Consistently moist, not water-logged.

More About Us
When I started this journey in 2009, I found nothing existed commercially, that was reasonably priced and easy to use. There was a homemade system which I also found was not that user-friendly.
Then a friend of mine told me about a homemade method she used. However, when I tried her method, I found this also didn’t suit my needs, as it too had flaws that I considered where important. It did not keep vermin out, did not have a lockable lid and (to me) looked unsightly in the garden
