Spring and Autumn sowing, stands well in colder weather which takes your harvest through into mid-winter.

SOW: autumn sow for winter leaves or sow in spring, Greta stands well in colder weather. Seed depth 10-15mm either in situ or 2-3 seeds per pot for transplanting.
GROW: for salad leaves grow close together and pick alternate whole plants to leave a wider spacing for remaining plants to grow larger. Space transplants 15-20cm apart planting each pot of seedlings as an intact bunch – this spacing gives the bunch room to grow. Best planted as a bunch as roots are easily damaged.
EAT: tasty Greta in salads adds a delicious dose of nutrients (spinach is considered a super food). Steaming helps conserve nutrients when cooking.
