malterod Caucasian spinach (Hablitzia) uprooted and washed. You can see the tiny shoot buds at the base. That tells you how the plant manages to make a new flush of shoots when you eat the first. At this stage and for the next month or so, depending on location of the plant, they are really delicious spring green. We're entering the time of year when our annual food system is the most poor (hungry gap) and the perennial greens are the most lush. It's a no brainer that we should grow more of those. #Hablitzia #perennialvegetables #gardening #hungrygap
