Planting Malabar Spinach and the New DYI Trellis

Good morning from South Texas. We have sunshine! After days of gray and rain, it feels good to be out in the garden once again.

I wanted to share about a new veggie I found out about! I truly am plumb excited! Down here in the Rio Grande Valley, it is not easy to grow lettuce due to our heat during the summer. I was hoping to find a vegetable that would withstand the hot temperatures. I recently found out about the Malabar Spinach.

The Malabar Spinach is a leaf vegetable. It has been known as the vine spinach, and many other names. It is fast growing and can reach up to 33 feet. It has heart shaped leaves. The spinach is mild to taste and contains tons of antioxidants. The plant enjoys full sun and has attractive violet blooms. 

The company I ordered my seeds from is "Outsidepride," an Amazon Choice. The seeds were very affordable and they offered free shipping through Amazon.

I was so excited to plant my seeds and make a DYI trellis to house the vines. I bought the wire and metal stakes  from Tractor Supply and the tubing from Home Depot. I connected the wire to the fence and framed a trellis. I then weaved the tubing through the top of the wire for extra support.
Thank you for stopping by!
​We are thanking the Lord for the sunshine and warmth of the sun today.
Take care, and until we meet again,
May the Lord bless you!

Creative, resourceful and ultimately so delicious, dear Kimmie.

It's exciting to "watch your garden grow" ... :)

Love and hugs, Maria
