switch greens

spinach isnt the only green leafed veggie

theres ruby red and dark green lettuce

kale is an excellent pot herb....tons of vit. A

there's beet greens (leaves)

fresh basil leaves

down south of the border they sometimes use questionable
water and or fertilizer sources to water and or fertilize their crops
....its not like it came off of one worker's hands...
this is a massive contamination so the proceedure that has
caused it .........is on a commercial scale.

new zealand spinach is a great variety to grow in the cold
weather months...paul, you could put a 5 gallon container on you
sun-porch and grow some there with ease. its a vine type
and it can be run up a stick. you pick the bottom leaves
and it keeps growing tops all year until the photo-period goes
too low.... in the dead of winter.between...12/01 ------ 3/30th
unless you add articial light.
