New Zealand Spinach

hmmm I thought I just planted bloomsdale long standing Spinach. I seriously thought it might be weeds.. but what do I know lol

I grew New Zealand spinach last year. Your plant doesn't look quite right. Is the leaf very thick New Zealand, I grew was not white or gray on the bottom.

Your plants look like Lambs Quarters a common weed. I couldn't imagine you planted that and the only other thing that came to mind was New Zealand Spinach.

Jal, I think your first instict was correct. These look like lambs quarters to me also.

Springyogi, if that's what they are, they have soft powdery fuzz in the growing shoots. Though considered weeds, they are highly nutritional and taste great fresh in salad -- thick but tender leaves have a kind of nutty flavor with no hint of bitterness, and older leaves can be cooked like spinach. I purposefully leave them in my garden and harvest for mixed salad greens and for tasty nibble while working.

Just like Applestar said, Lamb's Quarters are among the most nutritious foods. I collect the seeds late in the season and grow these weeds ON PURPOSE!
