Hi hv been following your channel I am a new gardener can't get d seeds of Malabar spinach will u be able to mail a few seeds to me in Gurgaon India??

I love Malabar Spinach! I just dig up the little seedlings that sprouted next to the mother plant today for overwintering 😋🌱🌿

thanks for that!

Thank you very much for all your videos , they are very informative and you always answer questions I'm thinking . Thank you again and Happy Gardening

I hv purple color vine spinach. Bt I dont know hw to cook it.

I found these seeds today at Home depot actually! Which is why I'm here now trying yo learn how to grow it. The seeds were for the red variety, it's where they have the international seeds at. hopefully the red gets leaves as big as yours too.

I planted 2 young Malabar Spinach, and the leaves are yellowing. What do you think is the problem, thank you!

My Malabar had a strong weedy taste and the leaves were not nearly as big as yours. I suspect that our hot Texas weather was to blame. I will grow some again March to June and see how it does. July and August are scorchers to 106 F, ruining the taste I'm sure. I'll have to come back and get your recipe again if I get enough to cook.

Great video! I recently did a video on How to Grow Spinach too (complete instruction, much like yours). It certainly is a lovely plant to grow.:)

Omggggg!!!ur leaves r amazingly large, I live in uk, I hv started the malabar plant from seeds in August ... It's 3 months old and only 8 inches tall I hv planted it in a pot, due to cold I hv bought the pot indoors but it does not seems to grow.. Wat am I doing wrong?? Please help!!!
My leaves r small😢

What's your advice once the Malabar Spinach flowers, do I need to replace them with new plants or just cut out the flowers so I can continue harvesting more leaves?

Malabar Spinach, I believe, is Alugbati in the Philippines and is very prolific. We plant from cuttings though farmers also plant from seeds.

Thank you for your lovely program. Your soil always appears light not heavy. What can I do to have the same quality of soil?

Your recipe looks tasty!
Thanks for sharing & Happy Growing!

I directly sowed the seeds in a big container and while watering some of the germinated tiny leaves seems to mixed with mud..... can't v start seeds directly?

When is the best time of the year to sow spinach? This video has good info. Now I know why mine are bolting.

We call this in the Caribbean ..New Zealand Spinach . and has a tendency to fun.

Excellent growing tips! We love malabar spinach!

Simply amazing! You're awesome!

Regular spinach didn't work for me at all, I think Malabar spinach would be ideal for Mumbai weather , I will be sowing post monsoons!
