Summer is a time of abundance. Perennial vegetables are putting up new leaves. Brazilian spinach (Alternanthera sissoo) is no exception. The older winder leaves should be picked to allow softer new summer growth to thrive. Growing the plants in pots and polybags is keeping the plants from spreading out. Consider adding compost and watering the plants at least once weekly. The beautiful, glossy plants grow in shade, semi-shade, and full sun. Let the nutrient-rich vegetables add beauty to your gardens and kitchen.
