One of my favorites! Fresh eating, cooked or dried for storage to use later over the winter. Dont forget to pickle some of the seed pods too! Plenty to pickle and save seed for next year too. Excellent green for hot Texas weather. Grows right through heat of summer to fall is not bitter at all! Dont put it out to early it does not like cold weather.

I decided to try this variety of spinach . It grew very well and is producing many seed pods. I am very pleased with this variety and will plant in the spring.

First off I don't like the taste of spinach in general. I like this one, it tastes like a cross between spinach and butter lettuce although the look of the leaves aren't reminiscent of either. Most leafy things die in the summer in Southern California but this one does great in the heat. I planted the seeds in a raised bed when temps were high 80s and covered it (large raised piece of wood) for a few days (checking the moisture whenever I could) It's doing very well. I would be careful where you plant it because I've heard it can be invasive which is why I decided to grow it. If it's invasive it's less likely to easily die off. Mine is still kind of small but I think as it grows I think maybe I could use it by itself for salads. I've read on other sites that it has better nutrition than spinach.

So far great!. Rapid germination and just waiting for development. Fast shipping and great packaging.

I can always count on good germination and healthy plants from MIgardener.
