Soak seeds overnight before sowing to soften the hard seed coat; germination is slow but improves significantly with scarification and warm soil above 70°F. Provide a trellis or fence — the twining vines reach 6–10 feet and produce heavily when they climb. Harvest young leaves and stem tips frequent

Опис

Soak seeds overnight before sowing to soften the hard seed coat; germination is slow but improves significantly with scarification and warm soil above 70°F. Provide a trellis or fence — the twining vines reach 6–10 feet and produce heavily when they climb. Harvest young leaves and stem tips frequently; the leaves are mucilaginous (similar to okra) and excellent in stir-fries, soups, and anywhere cooked greens are used. The red-stemmed variety (Basella rubra) is slightly more ornamental and equally productive — both tolerate heat and humidity that quickly kills regular spinach. Спосіб посадки: Посів на розсаду вдома Відстань між рослинами: 12–18 дюймів Висота: 48–120 дюймів Дні до схожості: 10–21 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 18–29°C
