strawberry spinach

Rain_Frog · 05-12-2012, 11:31 AM

Any tips on germination? I read people's threads about difficulty getting seed to germinate. I know spinach seed itself is short lived.

I was thinking about starting my strawberry spinach in a seed tray. Does it transplant well? Do I bury the seed, or does it need light to germinate?

I planted this several years ago. I barely covered the seeds with sprinkling fine planting mix over the seeds then covered the tray with row cover. It does become invasive. It no longer grows in my garden as I have pulled all seedlings that I have found. I persolally see it as a novelty and a waste of space. But to each their own.

Hey Garciafidel; You need to buy better goggles if you plan on good germination results.
