Sweet potatoes and Malabar spinach are some other hot weather vegetables. (Never tried Malabar Spinach though.)

Someone said you could grow sweet potatoes under your okra to give then a bit of shade.

Man...... *second* scorpion right above my head in bed this week. I can *hear* the f’ers. Got a filet knife and harpooned him, gave him a ‘and tell your friends’ speech then flushed him. This is on two sleeping tablets.

Malabar spinach is slimy and I do not like it. And I LOVE all greens, especially collards, beet greens, kale etc. (But not turnip or mustard greens.)

I tried Malabar spinach one year, wasn’t pleased with the taste, it didn’t satisfy my love of spinach. Tried salad and cooking it.

I’d eat it if I was hungry. But I wouldn’t hunger for it. It might just me my tastebuds, no reason ever not to try new things. It did grow like a weed in the heat.
