Guest guest Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Hi Roseta, How does your garden grow? You may recall that like you, I'm also doing some home+local produce in SoCal. I've got nothing new to report except for more, now year-round, admiration of New Zealand spinach. I am a loud (but lazy!) fan of any green that produces perpetually, looks very good, even as a ground cover, and needs little to no care beyond normal watering and some fertilizing. Where I had the NZ spinach in full sun, it grew very fast but became yellow and stringy after the end of the summer. Though it did drop alot of seeds (actually a fruit) and replanted itself. But in the front yard where it gets year long morning sun and afternoon shade, a two or three meter-square patch just keeps staying green and productive all winter too, with no new planting! Though extreme cold (for us) can wilt the leaves a little. I'd be glad to send you some seeds if you'd like to try some. Careful though it is invasive. I still owe you for the tip about harlequin bugs on my kale. What are you all growing? Take care, Slim , " rosetalleo " <rosetalleo wrote: > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem_artichoke > > also called a jerusalem artichoke, not from jerusalem and not an artichoke... > > a perennial plant with yellow flowers and edible roots > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
