VIDEO: This TOUGH Tasty Plant is a MUST for the Home Vegetable Garden


This is one of the toughest but tastiest plants you can grow in the home garden! I personally think this food crop is a must in the vegetable patch!

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 Self Sufficient Me 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 🙂

  1. Just ordered some Perpetual Spinach seeds. Going to build a raised bed and have it close to the backyard entrance for easy grabs. Going to have it divided into two parts. One area will be where I maintain little leaves for eating raw, and the other area will be for leaves to get larger for cooking, and for feeding my tortoises. Thanks Mark!

  2. Hi! I watched your video last year and bought a packet of perpetual spinach seeds. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH. What an insanely delicious vegetable that grew just fine in our desert summers. Now, a year later, my 10 plants have shot up huge flower stalks. I rewatched your video, and was wondering if you would advise me to let them keep growing and save the seeds or to divide them? I'm scared that I'll just kill them if I do so. Thank you!

  3. A number of people have asked for the botanical name. Please provide that. It would clear up the confusion & misinformation of a number of comments. Thank you! I love your enthusiasm!

  4. Hello Mark
    I am growing this in Denmark, so not quite the same climate 🙂
    Mine always go to seed year 2 in early summer, and the dies.
    Do you not experience this ? Maybe it consider itself a new plant once you split it ?
    I will definitely try to split it this year.
