Got some seed, anyone tried this? Any tips? It says self seeds!

I've grown it. Pretty plants, insipid fruit. By all means grow some but I doubt you will do it regularly, last time it came up that was the general impression from those who contributed...  :-\

Pretty plants (not really, but for a spinach - yes) but lousy bland fruits and lousy spinach too - tastes like paper.

I can think of dozens of more beautiful vegetables...

Cheers.

It sounds fab and I've grown it once, similar to the above posts really. I've not bothered again, although it took a few years before it stopped popping up in the beds!
