Σπανάκι: Εύκολα φυτά για καλλιέργεια που θα τα χρησιμοποιήσετε στην κουζίνα

Είναι η κατάλληλη ώρα για σπορά σπανακιού. Οριοθετούμε ένα χώρο 3 τετραγωνικών μέτρων. Σκάβουμε καλά και τσουγκρανίζουμε-ισιώνουμε το έδαφος. Αφού σπείρουμε, καλύπτουμε τους σπόρους με 0,5-1 εκατοστό χώμα καλής ποιότητας. Το σπανάκι αρχίζει να φυτρώνει σε 10 ημέρες και σε 2-3 μήνες ανάλογα τις θερμοκρασίες μπορούμε να αρχίσουμε τη συγκομιδή.

Αλάτι και πιπέρι

Πλένουμε καλά και ψιλοκόβουμε το σπανάκι. Το ρίχνουμε σε αντικολλητικό σκεύος μαγειρικής χωρίς λιπαρά (βγάζει πολλά υγρά). Σε 2-3 λεπτά σβήνουμε με κρασί και προσθέτουμε τριμμένο μοσχοκάρυδο, αλάτι και πιπέρι. 'Όταν εξατμιστεί το κρασί, προσθέτουμε την κρέμα γάλακτος και την αφήνουμε σε σιγανή φωτιά έως ότου δέσει καλά.

FAQ

Why did the seeds not germinate? +
The seeds may have been planted during the wrong season when conditions were not adequate. If aged seeds were used, they may have had reduced germination power. Finally, the seeds may have dehydrated or rotted as the result of insufficient or excessive watering.
What is the best time of the year for planting? +
A good time for planting is autumn, when rain is plentiful and temperatures lower. The plant has then time to develop its roots during winter and will be ready to grow well in spring. However, plants that are sensitive to cold weather (e.g. hibiscus) should be planted in spring.
When should I plant vegetables? +
During autumn and winter we plant cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, rocket salad (rucola), beets, lettuce, spinach, leeks, chicory, endives and carrots. In the spring we plant tomatoes, courgettes (zucchini), aubergines, peppers.
