Look how beautiful this is.  It is called Malabar spinach.  It’s not a true spinach, but a vigorous vine with edible leaves that taste like spinach.  The best part is that it grows in hot weather, where spinach likes cool weather.

 

I’ve never planted it before, but we are trying it this year.  And so far, it’s doing great.  It has climbed to the top of the trellis, and started moving sideways.  We’ve already picked a bunch of leaves, and it is still pretty.  I love those red stems.  

So with this plant we can have spinach up til the frost.  Yay!!!

 

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
