Strawberry Sticks (Strawberry Spinach)

Approximately 25 Seeds

Strawberry sticks are relatively unknown but they are a great addition to any garden. The light green leaves can be cooked and used like spinach, and the strawberry like fruits are also delicious to pick and eat.

• Can be sown early, under cover, in trays of well drained seed compost.
• Germination 10-14 days
• Prick out when large enough to handle and grow on, gradually acclimatising after all danger of frost has passed before planting out.
• Larger plants do not like being disturbed.
• Can be sown direct to the growing position when the soil has warmed, and weeds are growing vigorously.
• Harvest young leaves around 60 days after sowing, the fruits only form after the plant has bolted and flowered.
