Long time no hello catnip!!!
Silver beet
Silver beet is a really useful vegetable, which can be grown all year round in cold climates. It is highly nutritious and tastes much like spinach.
Prepare soil by digging in lots of organic matter.
Plant seedlings from spring through to early autumn. The spring crop will probably go to seed in summer, so keep planting for a continuous crop. The autumn crop will last right through winter.
Mulch plants well in summer, but keep mulch away from the stems to prevent rot. Silver beet responds well to regular feeds of organic liquid fertiliser.
Harvest the leaves by snapping them of at the base of the plant. New leaves will soon grow to replace the ones already harvested.
