With Malabar spinach the young leaves can be eaten raw. The bigger leaves are better cooked, or at least wilted, in my opinion. The more mature leaves are kind of thick. I use it in the place of spinach in cooked recipes mostly, but I will add the young leaves to a salad of other salad greens. I'm glad you got some rain, too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09974162432733340830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067794945938970014.post-37651983492941459892011-06-23T01:07:52.477-05:002011-06-23T01:07:52.477-05:00We have much of the same weather, I'm going to...We have much of the same weather, I'm going to have to try and find some malabar spinach. Can you eat it raw in salads or is it better cooked?<br /><br />Thanks for visiting my blog. We got 1.75" of rain this morning. No flooding, but also no power.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12920970250264488574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067794945938970014.post-45454871823997038112011-06-20T21:34:16.873-05:002011-06-20T21:34:16.873-05:00Interesting idea!

The beans next to the corn have been more protected from insects than those on their own. After seeing all the benefits from mixing up the planting, I'll always do it this way. The okra is slow for me in NC, and the deer has been messing with it. Hopefully it will be up soon.Paige Pucketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607669766252829393noreply@blogger.com
