EASY year-round crop #3



Ceylon Spinach.

Don't be frightened of this plant just because you have never heard of it. Of all the tropical spinaches, this is my favorite. The taste is MILD and the plant is BEAUTIFUL. I grow this in my front yard landscaping. This is my "go to" lettuce year round. Read my previous post here http://growagardener.blogspot.com/2015/06/plant-chat-ceylon-spinach.html.

Pros:
Grows year round
Never have to buy again
Grow in pots and in ground
Requires very little care
Easy to propagate
Self sows

Cons:
Self sows in places you might not want it to
Frost sensitive (take a few cuttings before a frost)
