Easy to Grow
Egyptian Spinach
This spinach is one of the easiest to grow, and we have so far found that no bugs seem to touch it.
Apparently this plant is the primary green leaf food in Egypt, and is used in many recipes.
It has very unique leaves, with each having long “antennae” at the base.
Harvesting enough quantity is a bit of work because the leaves are sparse, and we’re wondering how big they’ll grow.
