Malabar spinach
« on: March 13, 2017, 21:28 »
Anyone tried this?

We love greens and this is vine, so can be grown up canes in a small space, it loves heat, so doesn't bolt in summer and grows like a triffid.  Worth a go I thought as my 'new to try crop' this year.   I am being very strict and only allowing 1, so it would be good to know if I have picked a winner or not  :)

Spinach is a real pain with bolting, about this one they say, not that productive in cool weather.

You let us know, Shoot!

I have been growing sorrel in the mean time, much tastier than spinach, too.
