Perpetual Spinach should also be under consideration for survivalists and guerilla gardeners. I don’t think that it sticks out too much. While not calorie rich, it is rich in vitamins and minerals. So again, it’s a plant that people could overlook even during a food shortage.
>Big, beefy and productive, it looks like spinach and it tastes like spinach: but unlike spinach it doesn't bolt, even in dry conditions, and it's bone hardy in winter so you can grow it all year round.
>If you’re looking for a year-round vegetable then Perpetual Spinach is it. I can harvest Perpetual Spinach from the same plant in all 12 months of the year.
Perpetual spinach is in fact a chard – it’s other name is Spinach Beet – but you’d hardly know it. >Whereas Silverbeet and Rainbow chard have thick white or coloured stalks and thick crinkled leaves, Perpetual spinach leaves are almost flat, with slender green stems. The other chards set my teeth on edge as if I’d been eating iron filings. To me, Perpetual spinach really tastes like spinach.
>It’s an easy plant to grow. Like any chard, bolting doesn’t have to spell the end of the plant and the leaves don’t turn bitter. Simply cut off the bolting stalk – even use the baby leaves – and if the plant gets enough water it will return to good behaviour as if nothing had happened.
>By the end of summer a Perpetual spinach plant has a root as big as a large parsnip and if you have been harvesting regularly it will also have the beginnings of a trunk like a tree fern. Keep on harvesting. Although it does slow down in winter, Perpetual spinach will keep producing leaves unless the weather is particularly freezing.
