FYI, Walmart has New Zealand Spinach in their yellow and orange 50 cent seed packets.

Big storm came through today so guess the garden was wiped out - again. Loud rushing waterfalls of run off continued half an hour after the rains ended.

New England Spinach was one of my most successful indoor plants one winter. Grew like the dickens. Might have to try it again this winter.

Hubby put in a big drainage ditch right above his newest patch, because he was having problems with run off and erosion. He just dug down and put in some perforated pipe and added a bunch of gravel. So the pipe carries the excess away, and the rest seeps through the gravel and into the garden at a slower pace.
