A monster on the balcony?

Well, I don't know what to say. This one just keeps on growing and growing. I think it's well over three metres now.

I forgot the most important info. It's my basella alba, or malabar spinach.

I think it's a plant with a purpose. Or ambition and vision. It's probably trying to get up to the neighbor above us. But what it's really trying to accomplish - I don't know yet. Have a look at it. It goes both to the left and right along the railing.



In other words. We still haven't eaten it. And the question is still if we dare :-)

Malabar spinach...

This one is really amazing. I'm almost 2 metres tall, and the spinach is taller than I am...

We talk about starting to eat it, but it's almost like we don't dare to eat it, because it has such powers :-)

What do you think? Do you have any nice recipes to share?
