Thanks George. Think thats Pinetree out of Maine right. If so, I have their catalogue so will look it up. Might have been one I ordered last year.

It is a staple of the dooryard gardens at Sturbridge Village. Seeds are large (10 per packet) and slow to germinate, so be patient. Properly known as tetragone, the flavor is quite similar to that of real spinach. Pinetree doesn't mention that it's a climber but I found out when it climbed a tomato cage and took over. Hope this helps. George Penny Nielsen wrote: >
