I love how you showed the stages of growth as the Sea lettuce became taller and more lush! Also really loved the Hat in the beginning of the video and how the hat brims seemed to get wider as the Heat perhaps became more intense? I cannot imagine living in such HEAT!! I really admire that you are seeking to get all of your vitamins in your food! It is really almost unheard of these days. It's concerning that we are all led to believe we must take supplements when in fact we just need to amend our soil more... Thank you again for the education you give us all!!
I found out that kang Kong spinach is illegal in some states (not mine) and why when I bought my seeds. I didn't know plants were illegal in the US (except marijuana lol again in certain states) at least it's not illegal here in my state but I still made sure to plant it in a container and make sure it hasn't dropped seeds anywhere (no seeds yet). I've become obsessed with perennial spinach after finding out some of them can actually take a person off of certain medications. Right now I have 12 varieties growing and they taste wonderful. 💜 happy growing 💜
It looks great, but I just checked and water spinach is illegal in Arizona. I usually grow Malabar spinach during the summer in the Phoenix area, but this year I planted Egyptian spinach instead, and it does well under shade cloth.
In Thailand, the kind that grows in soil (ผักบุ้งไทย (Pak-Bung-Thai)) is more fiberish and is usually eaten with papaya salad, especially in the northeastern region (อีสาน (Ee-Saan)). The kind that grows in the water (a.k.a. ผักบุ้งจีน (Pak-Bung-Jeen), Chinese morning glory, or Ong Choy) is generally eaten as a stir-fry dish.
Oh That is Kangkong in the Philippines. You can plant it in a pond then you will have lots of kangkong plants to eat. They are very edible to make "ADOBONG KANGKONG"
I hsd a feeling that's what it was but when he said Ong Choi I had my doubts coz I'd never heard that name. I live in French Polynesia and propagated cuttings in very basic gravel/soil mix in a spot that stays a little humid. It spread nicely after I simply laid the cuttings flat, lightly covered. Plenty of greens from it now. I also have malabar spinach running around which I planted in the same way, woven with the kang kong cuttings. My main source of greens comes from a shrub with large, heart-shaped leaves that have a gooey texture. No idea what it's known as in English but it supposedly retains all vitamins and minerals even after cooking and it propagates very easily with cuttings. I have seen it produce yellow flowers that look a bit like hibiscus. Other varieties produce slender leaves that look a little like tapioca leaves. No bitterness at all, just slimey. Absolutely excellent in soups. Rant over 😅
I’ve grown this in my midwestern state and it never seems to thrive in the middle of summer. Pests seems to get to it and it never grows vigorously the way I think it’s supposed to. Too bad because I love the leaves.
BLACK INSECT FRASS???? what is that?? I love your "how to" videos this one is awesome and I totally wish I could try this, but it's far too cold where I am living right now... Thank you for sharing this.. I always learn something new!
Water Spinach is banned in some US states for being a terribly invasive species. It literally causes floods to divert to highly populated zones. I’d definitely recommend against planting it in a garden.
