Jeff. Hi. New Zealand spanich is perennial.
Takes heat and frost.grows best with afternoon shade.more sun = more water.leafs and stems fleshy.good ground cover.i have a patch about 15 foot diameter under a huge tree it only gets a few hours of morning sun. You could plant some today. If your ground freezes in winter. You may need to cover it with
hay. ??? Raw it tastes pertty green. Boiled tastes similar to spanich. Good for soup.stew.and stir fry. And one neat thing is. You snap off the tender tips bout 3 or 4 inches.(they sprout off from there.) And you chop up stem and all. Stems are thick and tender if they snap off. Also if you step into them gently/occasionaly to pick
them. They'll be ok.😎
Your jute plant got my interest. Except you said it tastes ok ? You chop it finely.and dont eat it plain? You ever eat it plain boiled with butter or mayonnaise on it ?
Talkin greens hear....You ever try collards or rubarb chard (not related to rubarb). They take heat an frost. And when they want to bolt. If you keep cutting off the bolt heads so they cant make seeds. They wont die off ! Thumbs-up 😎.
Boy im slow texting 😕. Other-wise i'd go on and on... Oh !!! Hay !!! When you go to get your seeds get some SNOW PEAS !
Yum ! 😛
Its allready time to Plant them. Really!!!
Be sure there specifically snow peas!!!
Others have strings 👺# Blaah !!!
Lots of other stuff to plant now to. But you probably already know that !
Have fun with your garden. 😎😎😎
