Beans, beans and more beans! Aren't they amazing? All of them are part of the EU citizen science project INCREASE. (https://www.pulsesincrease.eu)
Aren't beans fascinating? Each one has its own character. So I used different varieties of beans and wire for this experiment.

I grew #strawberry #spinach (Blitum capitatum) aka strawberry blite this year as a bit of an experiment, and I'm finally getting some actual berries on the plants.
I don't think I'll grow this again on purpose (though apparently it reseeds pretty well).
It doesn't function very well as a spinach, or as a berry.
The leaves are thicker than spinach and don't taste particularly great. It's a fine potherb but I have enough of those already.
The berries are bland but also seedy.
