Beautiful! Delicious! Invasive? | Growing Strawberry Spinach | Gardening 101 | Guten Yardening

We absolutely love the look of our strawberry spinach plants. We first planted them last year, and this year, we had an abundant supply of the beautiful strawberry spinach berries.

This year, the strawberry spinach plants appeared right after the winter finished in about 5 or 6 places where we had planted them last year. Since this was our first time growing them, we had a lot to learn about what this meant.

In this video, we talk about what we learned from growing the strawberry spinach this year, and we provide a warning about growing this variety of vegetable. While it is delicious, and the strawberry spinach berries are delicious on salad, we want to make sure you know what you are potentially getting into if you decide to grow this vegetable.

We hope you enjoy this video!

Thanks for watching.

One of our amaranth plants spread its seads all over. It’s growing everywhere, we couldn’t be happier. It’s beautiful and gets eaten daily! Yummm

Thank you so much for this info!!! I’m planting it for the first time this year !!! This has helped!

I bought a pack of these thinking they looked fun to grow.
Had the package used the alternative name for this plant -- "Strawberry Blight" -- I probably would've steered clear.

I’ve never grown strawberry spinach. I’ll have etc give it a go. I love plants that are “invasive” 😁

I had tomatillo escape and it took two years of clear plastic to cook them out of the soil

[sightseeinginstyle]

Cool, guess I won't plant you in the vege garden, into the food forest you go! be free! haha

Thanks for this great video! Love to plant for our birds too.. I’m planting this in pots so won’t get invasive..this is a great plant and appreciate your informative video too.. thank you! 💙🌷💙

Well I got seeds but ty now I have ideas to plant then in woods on side, so birds can have and I can go and harvest for me .

[bigmaude]

😂😂😂 I have the same thing happening with my red Malabar spinach.

I’m growing strawberry spinach in my garden for the first time but keeping it in a covered raised bed so that the birds can’t get to it. Hopefully I won’t have a problem with it spreading to much. I guess I will see next year.

I was about to get some started, thanks for the HEADS UP! That is crazy! I might just stick to normal salad greens haha.

I was going to plant one but thank god i saw ur video first!

[amateurcoversongs]

Good info. Thank you for sharing this. I bought some from Ebay then looked them up on a seed site. Neither said nothing about strawberry spinach being invasive. The only warning I saw was about over indulging in the berries b/c it causes heath issues for some.

We shouldn’t call a plant native to the US invasive to the US… Still useful to know it spreads easily.

[buhkxbf]

Thankyou for that information. I will rethink planting the seeds as we have a very small courtyard garden and such an invassive plant would just not work

[antsinmypants]

I was hoping for some to grow back from last year but none did.

[geekygardens]

Never heard of that one. But I have plenty of invasive species around here so I don't think I'll be adding any more on purpose.
