First posting here so be gentle with me!
Can anyone help identify a plant that is growing in our garden,
http://tinyurl.com/mnumeugrows to about a
foot in height, is widespread in what was the previous owners veg
patch so I suspect is edible, I have tried a little and it tastes like
Sorrel, although the leaves are very different.
Has spread over a wide area, not too difficult to remove, but would
like to know what it is before we remove most of it. If it is edible I
will use it rather than compost it!!!
Thanks in anticipation

Probably New Zealand Spinach, which is drought-tolerant. It is quite
edible, and is picked as and when needed so that it continues to grow.
It is quite palatable.

Thanks for the reply, but I am sure it is not New Zealand Spinach, the
leaves are very different

also the stuff I have growing is a low growing plant, not vine like.
Thanks anyway, I am sure I will find out eventually!!

New Zealand spinach *is* a low growing plant. It is not vine like in any
way.
