There’s been so much talk about vegetable death around here lately, I didn’t want to bum you out. So here’s evidence that I am not a total dumb ass and am having quite a bit of success in the grow closet.
This is purple passion spinach, also know as orach. According to wikipedia:
Another common use of orach is to balance out the acidic flavor of sorrel.[5]
Good to know, eh? Too bad I’m not growing sorrel! Also in the picture are some cabbage and lettuce starts. All of these babies will be going in the ground this weekend, making way for the next round of seed starting!
Wow! wish mine looked as good. Don’t know if I want to invest in grow lights, but it obviously is a plus!
Pretty vegetable! Does it taste like the regular spinach or don’t you know yet? Good camerawork too by the way, that’s with your new camera you mentioned earlier?
Mom-the grow lights are just “shop lights” and a cool spectrum bulb from Home Depot. I think the whole thing cost 25$! Surely you have room somewhere?
Alicia,
Thank you! It is indeed the new camera, and I don’t know yet what this purple stuff will taste like, but I will make sure to report back and let you know.
