We grow this in our backyard as well here in the Philippines. We have been eating and consuming this since 2006 , we have been reaping it's many many benefits specially my high cholesterol, hubby's sugar and high blood pressure all good now. My mother In law's ear drum has healed. My tooth filling which was cracked open now healed as well. Rheumatism and gird, wow! Our testimony over the years hats off to this very delicious plant. Oh! Did you know that you can plant this using its leaves?! The mature leaf you can just plant it in the soil, water it then you will see roots will start to grow. Awesome isn't it!!
Wow that is absolutely amazing! I did not know that about planting the leaves. I'm so happy to hear of all the health improvement your family has had. I will definitely start more cuttings to make this available for my subscribers. Wow
I'm growing this for first time so this video was really helpful for me. Looking forward to taking advantage of some of its medicinal properties. Thank you Ms.Pat.
Good stuff! I wash and dehydrate my leaves with a food dehydrator so that I could grind them into a powder and sprinkle them onto my scrambled eggs and other food that I eat whenever I feel like I haven't been eating enough veggies. I also do this with my cranberry hibiscus leaves and my collard green leaves. I took a jar of mixed greens to my elderly uncle to sprinkle onto his food because he lives alone, and I want to make sure that he's getting the nutrition in his diet that he needs since he cooks for himself since my mom has passed away just in case I can't make it over there to cook for him because he rarely eats vegetables. He likes it. Thanks for sharing.
That spinach looks so healthy. After growing large and being neglected, mine developed brown wilted leaves on the underside and I had to pull it all out. Harvested what I could off the top though which was growing in healthy. It's a big plant so there should be some new growth soon. I'm not crazy about the furry texture of longevity spinach, but still eat a lot of it regardless. I prefer now to mix it in a salad with other types of garden greens such as kale, green leaf lettuce and okinawan spinach.
Hello from Puerto Rico. Recently bought 6 cuttings through Ebay. They arrived... sad... Anyway, took the 2 strongest and put them in ground, one didn't make it and the other seems to have taken hold now but still small. The sadder original 4 I placed in water for about a week and a half until I saw the barest of roots; they were in my room (a/c) and under a regular LED light. Then moved them to extremely wet self watering 4" pots. They are now outside and seem to be doing better than the one left in the ground. Will continue babying all 5 - ultimately, I just need one to survive!!! Hoping for the best...
Hi there, sorry you lost a few. Soil should be moist, not overly wet. They're pretty hardy. Should come back. Make sure the soil is loose too so the roots can grow
@@backyardfarmerpat Yeah, that's why the pot ones seem to be doing so well since drainage there is excellent (but ultimately, they will need to go into soil; 4" pots don't cut it long term - haha). We've had a good amount of rain lately which is weird as this should be the dry season before hurricane season kick in. I'll take it though! Thanks for the video!!!
I wasn't sure if anyone else had mentioned it, but especially if you are in a warm climate, you can grow your peppers as perennials! My favorite variety is Sugar Rush Cream (Capsicum Baccatum species) and my oldest plants are both 5 years old, in 7-gallon containers, while I have another 3 plants each 2-3 years old :D
My rooted cutting arrives next week. I'm really looking forward to growing this and reaping the benefits. Thanks for sharing, that let me know it's gonna need a lot of room and it's own container 💜 happy growing 💜
I have Okinawa spinach. Are the stems fibrous and tough? Are they thirsty plants or need more water than other plants? Thank you God bless you Maranatha
I add it to raw salads but cut the leaves in thin strips so someone doesn't get a whole lotta fuzzy on their tongue. :) Seems to work well - no complaints from hubby!

Which spinach in particular healed these problems? Okinawa? Or longevity? I'm curious which one do you have? Thank you God bless you Maranatha

That's a brilliant idea. Thanks for sharing
@@backyardfarmerpat My pleasure :-)
@@backyardfarmerpat how can I get this in Uganda
@@itiswell3072 I have no idea how to get it there. Maybe find seeds online that ship to your area
@@backyardfarmerpat where are you located
Thank you for all of your wonderful information.
You are so welcome!

Good to know. Thanks so much for sharing. I haven't tried my Okinawa spinach yet
Amazing
Thanks!

Thanks for the info! My main Scotch bonnet is going into her 4th year.
I do this with my bell peppers. 💜

So happy it helped. All the best!
Longevity spinach is one of my favorite things to grow! Thanks for sharing 💜
My pleasure. What's your favorite way of cooking it?
Please what is your zone
@@Towardsahealthyliving zone 9a
Lovely harvest
Thank you
Awesome harvest!!!
Love it! I'm growing the same things in Lutz Florida.
Excellent!
Healthy growth,thanks for sharing maybe ill grow in a large container just like I do with my peppermint so I can control it better
Definitely good idea. Thanks😄
Thank yo
You're welcome!
Another informative video!
Thanks😊
🥰❤Loved ❤🥰 and Thank You for Sharing the Healthy Benefits of the Lond Jevate Spinach ❤🥰
My pleasure😊
Awesome harvest! We may need you to send us some cuttings to propagate👀
That can be arranged
do you parboil it before freezing it, or just throw the leaves in the freezer?
I freeze it fresh
I have Okinawa spinach. Are the stems fibrous and tough? Are they thirsty plants or need more water than other plants? Thank you God bless you Maranatha
I primarily use them in my shakes so I throw everything in. If I cook it I use only the leaves. They don't need much water. I hardly ever water mine
I have the same boots🤣
Hubby got them for me. Love them😀
@@backyardfarmerpat They are so comfy!
Do you think you'll sell cuttings in your Etsy shop next year?
Eventually! I'm trying to get it back and healthy. I may just feel plants next year
How do you keep the squirrels away?
My dogs chase them constantly
My squirrels don't really eat it - that I know of. But who knows what they do when you're not looking? Plotting world domination?
Do you sell this plant also on Etsy?
Yes I have a few plants. Will add to Etsy today
Where do you buy that without paying an arm and a leg?
A friend gave me a cutting and I grew this from the cutting
I've never seen for sale except in Etsy. I used to sell on Etsy
beautiful harvest! are there any peas we can plant in winter or fall? i do
summer gardens but this is my first fall garden.
Thanks so much. In central Florida I can plant peas now. Depending on where you live Google what you can plant in the month of November
That's a lot of spinach
where did you find this?
My realtor gave it to me
I'm setting up my online store shortly. This will be in it. Stay tuned. I'll announce when it opens
@@backyardfarmerpat i will definitely be ordering ❤️❤️ God bless 💙💙
How do you cook/eat it, rough texture ?!
I usually blend it in my shakes. I've cooked it down with onions and garlic too but mainly shakes
I add it to raw salads but cut the leaves in thin strips so someone doesn't get a whole lotta fuzzy on their tongue. :) Seems to work well - no complaints from hubby!
