Comments (3)I would be interestsed in the malabar, the roma 11 and the scarlet runners. See my trade list. I would like the know how old the seeds are please....See Moremalabar spinach chips rather than kale chips?
Comments (1)Never done it but I would think they would be very fragile. Crumble into dust? Kale has a more extensive rib development. JMO Dave...See MoreWANTED: Green Malabar Spinach seeds
Comments (5)Just thought I'd let y'all know Merrybookwyrm contacted me has Green Malabar on the way. Also I found some Rat Tail Radish seeds on Johnny's Selected seed site so will be ordering some from there along with row covers. They get four or five ft. tall, but I have no idea what kind of growth habit to expect. Anybody here ever grow them?

Comments (6)Speaking of Malabar spinach, I've grown both the red and green stem and although the red stemmed seems to be more readily available, (maybe because it is more colorful) I liked the green stem variety more. In my experience the leaves were bigger, tastier and it didn't seem to reseed so freely. Has anyone else had experience with both? Some people harvest a whole stem and pull the leaves off, but I usually cut only the leaves off and the stems would sprout more leaves. The leaves are big and shiny and easy to harvest and it doesn't seem like there would be a problem mistaking Hyacinth bean leaves for Malibar spinach leaves, but you might get better production if the Hyacinth vine did not over shadow the Malabar or vice versa. Malabar spinach is GREAT stir fried with olive oil and fresh garlic. Here is a link that might be useful: Green malabar spinach ......See Morejojosplants
