SPINACH
Where large regular gatherings of this valuable vegetable are required it is better to make frequent sowings at regular intervals rather than one or two big sowings. It is a crop that always pays for a well-worked soil, and appears to appreciate a fairly liberal supply of soot in the soil. As a little shade is beneficial in the hot weather, unless* sowings can be arranged for between rows of peas, seeds should be sown where they get a little relief from the mid-day sun. Where there is a difficulty in maintaining supplies of the summer spinach, it is advisable to have a bed of the New Zealand variety to rely upon, and seeds of this may either be sown out of doors in drills 2ft 6in apart or the plants may be raised in boxes and transplanted. This variety also appreciates well-worked ground, but will stand full sunshine.
