Organic Spinach F1 Primo Seeds
Maybe Popeye was a slighty unconventional dietician but he certainly knew his stuff as spinach is oe of the most healthy vegetables you can eat - and packets of our Organic Spinach F1 Primo Seeds are the starting point for producing lucious, dark green, oval shaped leaves stuffed full of vitamins A and C. And you won't have to wait long to start your vegetable-based health kick; Organic Spinach F1 Primo Seeds will start producing edible baby leaves after just two weeks, and plants will mature in around 10 to 12 weeks. You can keep spinach on the menu for most of the year as March to July sowings can be harvested right through to late autumn - and use protection in the form of cloches and fleece for seeds sown in November through to early spring. Plants grown from Organic Spinach F1 Primo Seeds are high yielding, slow bolting and show good resistance to strains of downy mildew - you'll find 150 seeds in every packet.
