I love its flavor! Perhaps you didn't get a good one? I first tried it in Taiwan, and then was very excited when I saw it in an Asian market near home.

The seeds didn't germinate until late spring, and the next thing I noticed it was all over the place. It tastes great raw or cooked and you can cut a six foot vine to bring indoors to prepare. I've read that it roots extremely easily from cuttings, but the weather had cooled by the time I learned this. Malabar spinach grows extremely well in the North Carolina summer.

I live just outside of Huntsville, and I have a friend who plants it every year. He plants the seeds in late spring, and they are ready for reaping around late October, early November. He's given me some seeds, and I'm going to try it this year. In an earlier post, when you showed beautiful pictures from St. Croix, I asked you if you had come across a' green', similar to Collards, called Long Foot Cabbage. It's grown in the W.Indies by cuttings, but I've not come across it here, unless it goes under another name. Do you know it? It's one of my favorites, and I'd love to plant it, if possible.
