Tngop, see post 9770, LOL, Wneighbor has all the answers.
Sounds good to me.
Even in Kingman, they had the colorful cabbages in the flower beds, instead of flowers.
Why not a package of the colored swiss chard, true it is a hybrid, and the seeds won’t be true, but it is pretty and will taste good.
Nothing is prettier than a Luffa vine, young, the luffa’s are used in food and called Chinese okra, when mature they can be skinned and made into a scrub pad for body or dishes.
I grew a pot of them in the house one year, at 4 am the lovely flowers will open, you can almost hear them, I still have the macarame ropes strung around my ceiling, if I get another pot to grow.
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.
The yard long bean grows well in pots and if you will leave the stem of the bean on the plant, it will produce more beans from that flower stem.
Pinch the bean off, on the bean part, not the stem as most folks do.
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?
