I live in the Abruzzo region of Italy and this stuff is so prolific here that it even grows on the side of the road. I eat gobs of it every day. I have 8 plants going but while I’m waiting for them to mature, I’m foraging most of it right now. It never stops. This is one of the most kick ass hearty plants I’ve ever seen. All year it’s giving you something.

Does it grow from seed or cuttings?

Yeah, but it's like dating advice from dudes in NYC. There's so many women that any man can get a date. This 5 acres is in a Florida climate, and when there's a place so green there's usually a reason = it rains and it's humid and warm. Try growing stuff in a place where it don't rain, hot & dry summer, bitter cold winters, and soil like concrete

@@pappyfiddle Every region has it's challenges, I am >1000kms south of Mark, but I can still grow this. Mark has to irrigate his property, this is Australia, we lurch between droughts and flooding rain. Mark has a video about what happened to his garden when he went on holidays and had the irrigation turned off.

Gardening tips and recipes. Wow. Can't wait for the next one. Please tell your wife she did a great job.

These gardening videos give me a smile at the end of a stressful day in the urban jungle.

I’ve never heard of perpetual spinach before. Thank you for the tip. I’ll be looking for some seed to start my own.

You will find the seeds being called Leaf Beet or Leafy Beet as well as Perpetual Spinach, or even Spinach Beet.

I really learned something here! I had not heard of this plant before. My problem has been the very quick bolting of my greens. Because of space limitations I have been doing "bucket" gardening wherein the 5 gallon buckets on recycled pallets on top of recycled patio tables serve as my raised beds. Relatively good results for tomatoes and peppers but my greens only last a few weeks before bolting to seed. So, this spinich looks to be an answer! Thanks again, and as always KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!

You never need to boil greens or other brassicas. Just chop and add to a pan with a splash of olive oil and garlic salt and a sprinkle of water. Cook on medium heat for a few mins but watch it. The veg should be steamed nicely in its own juices.

Please more cooking the veggies. This is very helpful as well as the gardening and growing tips. Veggie storage and persevered like picking and canning too.

My wife just started making a dish very similar with spinach and bacon bits but she used mini-muffin bake pans. You can freeze them and reheat 3 or 4 for breakfast. Yours looked delicious!!

Really liked how you (your wife) used her hands in making the quiche. Best kitchen utensils going 🤲

Could you do some videos on how to store, dry, preserve stuff from your amazing garden? Such as how to dry and store herbs if we have an over abundance. How to keep our produce fresh as long as possible.

You make your Quiche like I make my breakfast bars, that I sometimes sell. People love them!

Thankyou, great video!

That looked fantastic! I'll be adding this to our garden.

Thank you for your info sharing, Mark. I've just discovered your channel, and am really excited to see not only Australian, but warm climate Australian ,self-sufficiency info. :) I hadn't heard of this plant until last year... I planted just one plant, and it lasted months and months and months and only succumbed in the hottest weather while we were away. Now i know how to keep it happy and encourage more plants by cutting it back and liquid fertilising.. It's delicious!!

that looks deliciousss and so easy to make!

Almost exactly a year after this video, I've picked up a perpetual spinach plant and just wanted to know the basics of how to make it thrive, and here you are with exactly the info I need. What a legend

love your videos, I will be ordering seeds this week . I also purchased some Egyptian spinach for this year. Thanks Tom

Looks like a great recipe!

Love the music getting you ready for the action scene. Chopping time.

Mate I noticed you've got quite a large block of store bought butter there! You should culture your own, it only requires heavy cream, buttermilk and two days of your time, and it's one of the most satisfying things I've learned to make recently :)

Never heard of it! My kind of plant. Ordering seeds this week!

You sold me on Malabar spinach, and it is doing absolutely fantastic. It is a great producer. Thank you! Now I am going to try this. Great idea about the propogation!

The recipe was a nice addition to the video

This one is news to me. Thanks, Mark!!

Looks delicious! Have to try recipe.

Glad to have ya back! I'll have to try this out. I had some longevity spinach awhile back and we weren't the biggest fan of it but this looks promising!

You've inspired me to try this

I am so glad I found your channel.. I am a vegetable garden freak.. love gardening.. Good day mate from Palm Springs, California...

Love it, thank you for sharing. I think I would have to grow this one in a bucket for it to survive in Central SW Florida. The ground is saturated with water, endless rain for days with no end in sight and temps at 100 degrees. I wish I was in your winter right now, hot, humid, soaking wet and still raining. Looking forward to your next video. God Bless Florida Girl.

Thanks Mark, I went to my local nursery and ordered perpetual a spinach plant. I’ve been veggie gardening in Victoria for years but never heard of it, so thanks again. Cheryle
