Ok, I moved into this house last September and the garden in the back yard was overgrown with waist high weeds. The owner and his Korean wife were bummed that the previous tenants let their hard work 6 months prior, that Spring, go to waste. The wife showed us some of hte vegtables that were growing (without any watering or weeding) and she showed us what she called Korean spinach; told us to clip the leaves we wanted to eat and then the plant would grow more. Now this year we tilled the garden (trying to stay ahead of the weeds) and are starting to see fruits and vegtables on the plants. As we were weeding I noticed what I believe is this odd spinach variation (attached photo) Can anyone positively identify it for me? I have more of these "volunteers" than the normal spinach I planted from seeds. Thanx George J.
Looks like a perfect match... New Zealand Spinach. Is it as good as the spinach grown from everyday seeds in the department store?
