Spinach

Growing it

Plant a packet of Spinach seed in an empty bed. It takes 2 h of real time to the first picking, while you cook and while the app is closed. Water it once per growth stage to bring it on (each can is worth 8% of its growing time); a sack of compost brings it on by 50%. Nothing ever wilts.

What it gives

• Spinach: 20 portions a picking, before mastery and ornaments. Home-grown, it costs the till nothing, adds 0,30 € to the tip, and is on the menu for the day whenever your shelf holds some that morning, even before its card is bought.

Buying the seed

The crate has 3 packets a day, at 1,20 € each. An everyday packet is only sold once the market has delivered the fruit it grows (or the pantry had it from the start).

Madame Odette leaves 2 spinach seed packets at the gate after 10 harvests.
