Hi Snookey, :lol: Has anyone grown the strawberry spinach they show on the allotment?

I grew it for a few years, back in the days when I would try anything unusual.It is edible only in the sense that it won't kill you or make you ill, but it is tasteless.

Thank you Alan, I had a feeling that might be the answer, looks pretty but not much leaf and you say not much taste either !
