Growing Silverbeet

Silverbeet is a favourite green leafy vegetable easily grown in a humus rich well drained soil.

Silverbeet requires a sunny position and can be grown almost year round in temperate areas of australia.

Grow from seeds sown directly or seedlings. Seeds can also be started in a coldframe or in punnets to give them some protection when young.

We use a liquid seaweed or fish emulsion fertilizer combined with some vermicaste from the worm farm. seems to work well. We allso dig in some well rotted manure and compost a few weeks before planting.

Silverbeet is ready for picking adout 2-3 months after planting. Harvest the outer leaves as they reach the right size and the inner leaves will be ready a few weeks later, keep harvesting as long as the plant is productive.
