How do you harvest Orach seeds?
About 2 to 3 weeks before last frost, sow seed ¼ to ½ inch deep, 2 inches apart, in rows 12 to 18 inches apart. Harvest tightly spaced plants when 4 to 6 inches tall, cutting them an inch or two above the soil in "cut and come again" style. Or thin plants at this height to 6- to 18-inch spacings, eating the thinnings.
How do you use Orach seeds?
Sprinkle the seeds evenly over prepared, moist soil. Try to space seeds about 1cm (½”) apart. Cover lightly with soil, and firm them in. Four grams of seed will plant a 12m (40′) row that is 7cm (3″) wide, so don't plant the whole packet at once.
Is Orach a perennial?
Orach is an annual vegetable also known as mountain spinach. It lives up to its nickname. It tastes a lot like spinach, and it cooks up like spinach, too. But it's much hardier and more resilient to heat than its celebrated counterpart, making it a lot easier to grow.
How do I grow seeds from atriplex?

Is Common Orache Edible?
The favored species for human consumption is now usually garden orache (A. hortensis), but many species are edible and the use of Atriplex as food is known since at least the late Epipaleolithic (Mesolithic). Common orache (A.
What does Orach taste like?
Orach has a mild chard-like flavor but tastes saltier than most greens as the minerals from the soil are stored in the plant's leaves. Orach leaves are used cold or cooked, and can be used like spinach or chard, or stuffed like cabbage leaves.
How do you grow mountain spinach?
Sow seeds in full sun to partial shade about two to three weeks after the final frost in your area. Plant seeds one-quarter to one-half inch deep in the soil, about two inches apart, in rows spaced out between one foot and 18 inches. When germinating seeds, keep temperatures around 60-65 degrees Fahrenheit.
