Spinach – New Zealand

3105 Tetragonia tetragonoides

60 days.
Native to Australia, New Zealand and East Asia.
Historically used by Māori and introduced to Europe in the 1770s by Captain Cook’s botanist, Joseph Banks, as a scurvy preventative, becoming known as Cook’s cabbage or Botany Bay greens.
Not the same species as common spinach; this variety loves heat and keeps producing all summer long.
An abundance of thick, fleshy leaves on sprawling plants ensure continuous harvest until the first frost.
