Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane – the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started SSM in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let’s get into it! Cheers, Mark 🙂
So I am attempting growing this in 4a… "stubborn" … I know, but … why not! I hope your doing wonderful!
I have two varieties in my greenhouse and it is a great grower even in winter. I haven't had luck with English spinach and my chooks love it. I want to ask if you can give the berries to my chickens.
Thank you so much my friends think I'm crazy eating this vegetable that's why I search for it.
Thanks
I grew some from seeds this last summer. It's almost June and it's still going strong here in Sydney on a north facing balcony. The leaves have turned shades of yellow, pink and red last few weeks which adds a lovely pop of colour to salads. We'll see if it survives winter
Great tips on a neglected veggie. My malspinach is looking good here in sunny,humid ,central Florida. Looks like my vines. will soon reach the skies and give my winged beans some competition. You are a joy to hear and watch,mate! Thanks !
Hey! Mark.
You need to try making Miso soup with Malabar, mushrooms & tofu combos. It's amazing,,
trust me man)))
Marlibar does have particular taste. The leaves are hearty thick and saliva makes them a bit slimy i like the way it looks more than it tastes!
How do you prune Malabar spinach to promote bushier growth? Can I prune off the tip of the vine early to encourage new shoots?
I bet it makes great PALAK PANEER and other Curries
Can you eat the berries?
Best with soups. Broth, add malabar and crack a salted egg or plain egg… My favorite go to meal
That sliminess is easy to get rid of – Just cook it with something acidic. Tomatoes, tamariind,.lemon juice..
Stir fried with eggs n achovies.
Why this video seam to be a copy one ,he never do video like this bad ? Anyone realised the corners edged been cutting
Thank you Mark
Good Morning sir! ! i am in Namibia . I am in need of Malabar seed.
Nicely explained. Liked the energetic & enthusiastic style of talking Arti From Maharashtra,India.
I just had some grow in yard. If edible is there any look a like to watch out for.
Haha…. I love the way you present my friend. We called this "alugbati" in the Philippines. I planted these malabar in my aquaponics.
I bought seeds on Amazon and got a small bag. I had never grown them and the seller put on the package that it was 95% effective. I only planted 4 seeds and the all grew lush and beautiful! I gave one away and put the other 3 in trellis and they are growing rapidly here in zone 9.
very interesting plant. in the US, we have a plant that looks similar but it is not a vine, called pokeweed. it looks similar. this looks like the vine version. but the poke weed berries are poisonous.
Hi Mark is that madiera vine?? A weed of national significance?
