How To Grow Strawberry Spinach<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
This little plant is about as easy to grow as it gets – despite the fact that it looks pretty exotic, it\u2019s actually pretty easy going and perfectly suitable for an armchair gardener!<\/p>\n
\n
This plant doesn\u2019t really like to be moved, so it is best to sow it where you want it to grow in your garden.<\/li>\n
Dig a bed that is well draining and well weeded, so that there is no competition for your little seedlings.<\/li>\n
Strawberry spinach can survive in most soil types, but it needs to have full sun in order to thrive.<\/li>\n
Keep the area well watered, especially during periods of prolonged hot weather – but don\u2019t drown the plants!<\/li>\n
Each plant can grow to around 60cm tall, so bear this in mind when planning your strawberry spinach bed, and make sure each plant has enough space.<\/li>\n
Unlike many plants, this one is pretty much pest resistant, making it an ideal choice if you tend to lose lots of plants to insect invaders.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
