Number 2 plant is up!So the SVB's, squash vine borers, have already nailed my single plant and it's only been in the ground 5 weeks.So 4 days ago I started 2 more seeds so I can succession plant and keep harvesting. It's working!View attachment 129980
Mahogany spinach or wood? I can't find a spinach variety called mahogany.I've been planting out lemon and lime trees and a wild mango.
Put new top soil in the pots and hopegully soon I'll have some cashews, mahogany and NZ spinach
Enough plant pests already! Some things here can grow 5 cm/day.Mahogany is a tree.
Not sure if I got the Natal mahogany or Pod Mahogany
The spinach is New Zealand spinach which is actually not related to spinach. It's one that keeps growing and you harvest the leaves. Except that it doesn't like our summer
In your climate, it could become a pest
It's very tasty thoughEnough plant pests already! Some things here can grow 5 cm/day.![]()

I've tried growing it from shop bought fenugreek seeds sold as a spice without success. I had great results with seed from a garden supplier. It grew like wildfire. Soaking may help. Good luck!I'm going to use quite old fenugreek seeds, so was thinking of soaking them overnight
I've heard adding a few drops of peroxide helps. Read that on a gardening forum but can't remember why.I'm going to use quite old fenugreek seeds, so was thinking of soaking them overnight
