Happy to be part of this thread. I am addicted to gardening. Always finding new things to plant. This year on the farm we tried strawberry spinich at least from the 1600s. the green were good added to salad and the red berries needed some extra sweetening but still were good. Orach has now also become part of my property it just comes up everywhere now. Right in the lawn. I love it :).
