Another hot weather spinach substitute.. malabar spinach .. dunno what the longevity of that seed is ;-) links below. Janice [snip] Hot weather? The notes say it bolts in hot weather. For a true hot weather spinach try New Zealand Spinach. It doesn't have the oxalic acid flavour of silverbeet and is mild, easy to eat raw. ah ok, never grown it... warmer weather than spinach I guess. I had some seed once, and before I could plant them, .. they croaked That reminds me, I'm supposed to be filling out an order for more lettuce seed so maybe I can get some planted and growing before it turns hot .. like last year. Got up to 100F last May, and didn't look back all summer! It's warm again this year, not that ware...yet.. but it won't be long! oh.. what's a silverbeet?
