Palak can be grown throughout the year, best grown in winter season in home garden

Sowing method: Sow the seeds directly in raised beds or containers, use a shallow sowing container with a minimum depth of 5 inches and a bigger spread area according to available space and requirements like trays or crates.

Sowing Techniques in Container: Select a container with uniform drainage holes at the bottom and fill the container with selected growing medium 2 part garden soil & 1 part any Organic Manure or 1 part garden soil, 1 part Coco Peat & 1 part Vermicompost.

Make shallow holes (1 cm) at a distance of 3 x 3 inches throughout the surface of the soil medium then sow 2-3 palak seeds per hole by pushing the seeds little in the soil medium with your fingers and cover them completely with the surrounding soil.

Water the sown seed bed immediately by a light shower by using a watering can, if seeds are planted in outdoor raised beds, protect them from heavy rain or direct sunlight by making a temporary roof plastic sheet for the first few days.

Palak seeds will germinate within the first six days or even much earlier and tiny seedlings will be visible with first leaves, if more than one seed has germinated per hole, cut off the smaller seedlings and only keep one seedling per hole. Baby spinach plants will be visible in 10-15 days, mature leaves will be ready to harvest in 30 days.
