Today at Can Pepitu we prepared some level beds to sow spinach, so that we do not lack even a pinch of iron in our weekly diet.
One of the advantages of spinach is that once boiled, we can store them in portions in the freezer. So we don't have to depend all year on what we can or cannot plant.
Autumn is a good time to plant spinach, so we have set aside a sizeable area. We are comparing two methods: transplanting seedlings and broadcast sowing. The large area is for seedlings; the area divided into 5 sections is for broadcast sowing. We will see the evolution later.
Note: After broadcast sowing, cover the seeds so water or birds don't carry them away. 😉
