Spinach (also English spinach) 02 Jan, RayS (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
Leafy greens like humus rich soil. Add some well-composted chicken manure and mulch around the plants. As for seeds, it depends on what you mean by spinach. Here in Australia some people call silverbeet (Beta vulgaris) spinach while others use the word spinach when referring to true spinach (Spinacia oleracea). For the former, seed is found on seed stalks that the plant sends up after it has been through a winter. The seeds are rough and corky and when dry can be easily stripped from the stalks between fingers and thumb. For the latter, it is similar but you need to be very careful. Older varieties have very thorny seeds so do not attempt stripping them from the stalks without a sturdy pair of gloves. True spinach has male and female plants so you will need at least one of each for seed. More is better.

My son lives in a similar climate. He grows currant tomatoes (Solanum pimpinellifolium) as these seem to be the only ones that produce most of the year. He sows often enough that he has plants developing all year. He doesn't get much in the height of the summer (wet season). Hope this helps.

Strawberry Plants 01 Nov, Lana (South Africa - Semi-arid climate)
I have what looks like a strawberry plant in my garden, but the fruits turn bright red when they are still tiny and don't look like strawberries. Is this a type of "fake" strawberry plant?
