Spinach Medania

RHS Award. 

Medania Spinach can be sown in spring and summer and used young. This variety is sometimes called "red rooted".

Spinach is a very tasty vegetable which can be used raw in salads, boiled or steamed. It is best eaten when picked young and as long as the leaves are picked regularly and young, they will remain tender and mild in flavour. When cooking spinach, the water left on the leaves after washing them is a sufficient amount for it to be cooked in.

Additional Details

When to Sow

March to July

Where to Sow

Direct into growing site. Sow thinly in shallow drills 2cm (3/4in) deep with 30cm (12in) between the rows. For later sowings, some cloche protection may be required.

What to do Next

As seedlings grow gradually thin out seedlings to 15cm (6in) apart. Water well during dry spells of weather to avoid premature bolting. Pick leaves as required.

Harvest

May to September

Handy Tip

As the sun is the main factor in causing the bolting of spinach, it is best sown between taller crops or in semi-shade.

Nutritional Values

A good source of vitamins A and C, lutein and dietary fibre.
