I like the malabar spinach for a hanging pot and grew it indoors for years, for myself and for the parrots, it has a large stem and pretty round leaves, about the size of the hand palm.

Somebody locally recommended that malabar spinach to me last year and I forgot about it. I was told that it grows better in this heat than regular spinach. Wish I'd have thought to buy that when I loaded up on seed this year. Will have to find some. Writing it down so I don't forget again. Can't I plant that later than ordinary spinach?

I don’t know about later planting for the malabar, I always planted it when I thought of it and it will need to be started in the summer warmth, to have over winter months.
