My Food And Flowers 
I’ve grown this one a few times. The flowers are really pretty! The flavor is a lot like spinach, I find it best in cooked dishes because of the slightly slimy texture.
It does taste like slimy spinach. Very easy to grow. 🙂
I’m growing this for the first time this year. Glad you included it for us to see!
It is a fast growing vine, good for harvest frequently! 🙂
