Ceylon Spinach

[Hector]

Any of you folks grown this in the UK. I've heard it has to be treated as an annual her but apart from that Iam clueless about sowing and planting season. I as wondering if I could get away with it in a greenhouse now?

thanks, beautiful coloured stems on the purple one.
That's strange you sent me that link for Victoriana, as I was on that site a week or so ago eyeing up some climbing peas for next year!

Have you decided to give some a go this year? It does sound fun

If you have a greenhouse and fancy trying it, pm me :)

Thanks, but I will resist your kind offer - my GHouse is chockablock full at the moment - I determined to get peppers and aubergines this year!
But will definitely be interested to hear how you get on with it  :)

:) My greenhouse is the same but I'm going to put in a wee 5 foot high thing we made out of polycarbonate....weave it around my pepper pots :)
