40 things I call spinach greens ...

Spinach is a very loose term around here. Anything green that can be tossed into soups, stir-fries, stews, curries, quiches gets called a spinach green (even though it is sometimes purple).

I love the idea of taking a leaf from this and leaf from that. This way of harvesting...

• is easier on each of the plants
• sources a much wider range of nutrition for your meal because each plant accumulates different minerals micronutrients from the soil
• encourages a perennialisation of the garden
• makes use of hardy plants
• means there is something always available

These are some of the things I toss into my basket as a 'spinach' mix:

1. silverbeet
2. rainbow chard
3. four types of kale
4. four types of mustard greens
5. pea shoots
6. fava greens
7. cranberry hibiscus
8. Surinam spinach
9. Brazilian spinach
10. pumpkin leaves
11. sweet potato leaves
12. taro leaves
13. cassava leaves (boiled first separately)
14. comfrey
15. borage
16. amaranth
17. landcress
18. sorrel
19. kang kong
20. okinawan spinach
21. mushroom plant
22. broccoli leaves
23. celery leaves
24. beetroot leaves
25. chickweed
26. purslane
27. dandelion
28. lamb's quarters
29. dock
30. nettle
31. wood sorrel
32. lush young cobbler's pegs
33. nasturtium leaf
34. young turmeric leaves
35. young QLD arrowroot leaves
36. young pomegranate leaves
37. young fig leaves
38. young choko leaves
39. yarrow leaves
40. welsh onion leaves

You get the picture. This is just the beginning really. There are so many edible greens everywhere. There's no point struggling to grow one or two types when such abundance is possible easily in a polycultural resilient garden.

Make every day is different and delightful by expanding the repertoire of greens. Become a forager.

What greens do you favour and appreciate in your garden?
