Spinach!

Bayam or Spinach have emerge from seeds that i sowed 2 weeks back. . The torrential rain 2 weeks ago might have shifted all the seeds to the right side of the pot.

I like to cook my bayam with anchovies. It taste good that way. Indians use to make curry by mashing the leaves and mix it with dhall!  Bayam is full of iron! How you would cook your Spinach?

Amaranth

I can find this type of bayam everywhere in my garden! I browse through Internet and came to know that this is Amaranthus dubius. It's famous in India and known as Mulai keerai . It's also called Chinese spinach or red spinach!

Usually it's ruderal species found in disturbed land. Oh yes my housing area is totally new place. previously it was plantation plus jungle area.

I found them in an empty pot at first but now they have invaded many pots!

As it's edible, I transferred some of it to the ground. Let's see how it grow!
