I have bought some Strawberry spinach seeds . Why? Well because they are different Has anyone grown them and what are they like?

[Fleecewife]

I like strawberries and I hate spinnach.......I wonder which they are most like

[Sylvia]

And I'm just the opposite, I love spinach and hate strawberries(except for the smell of them)

[YorkshireLass]

Sounds like someone's been perusing the same "seeds for weird edible things" websites I have!

You'll have to let us know the outcome

[Sylvia]

It looks lovely (the picture on the seed packet) Spinachy sort of leaves, which you cook like spinach, strawberry looking  growths/nodules growing up the leaves and, apparently a root you can eat like radish.
Plant World, Devon if you fancy trying them.

[Lesley Silvester]

Sounds a bit weird.  You try them and report back.  Then I'll thinki about it.   

[Sylvia]

I'll send you a few seeds to try if you like M.G.W.

[Lesley Silvester]

Yes, please, Sylvia.  I'll pm my address.

[Sylvia]

Will send them off tomorrow. Best to google for growing instructions as the ones on the packet are a bit basic. They look interesting if nothing else.

[Lesley Silvester]

Thanks.  I'll report on here in due course.

[Blonde]

Thanks.  I'll report on here in due course.

What an interesting combination... Would love to know how they go..... dont suppose I can get them in Oz.

[Lesley Silvester]

I'm looking froward to growing them.

[Sylvia]

Thanks.  I'll report on here in due course.

What an interesting combination... Would love to know how they go..... dont suppose I can get them in Oz.

And I don't suppose I could send you any. If I am allowed, Plant World is about a mile from me.

does Australia not have stringent laws on importing food and seeds

[Sylvia]

Yes, they do, Robert. I've just looked into it and, I'm afraid Blond will have to look in Oz for them.
