Palak Keerai

Uniqueness: Local spinach variety adapted for Tamil Nadu climates—quick-growing with tender leaves rich in iron, folate, vitamin A and fiber; ideal for soups, poriyal and healthy home gardens.

How to grow:

- Best soil: fertile, well-drained loam enriched with compost; pH 6.0–7.0. 

- Sunscreen: partial shade to full sun (3–5 hours), prefers cooler conditions to avoid bolting. 

- Watering: keep soil consistently moist; reduce heat stress with mulching. 

- Nutrients: compost at planting and occasional nitrogen-rich feed for leafy growth. 

- Companion plants: intercrop with carrots or radish to maximize space. 

- Care tips: sow successions every 2–3 weeks, harvest outer leaves regularly to delay bolting.
