I leave in QLD too and I wish I have it in my garden 🙂 you can grow stem and black colour tiny seeds. Please send some seeds for me. In Sri Lanka its grew widely.

I'm not usually into commenting but thought I would respond to this; I've found this plant to be very tenacious in my gardens (wet highland tropics on the southeastern Atherton Tablelands in far north QLD) and I haven't wanted to let it get established because

A, none of our animals are keen on it (I like to grow things that feed as many mouths as possible),

B, I haven't found it all that appealing to eat (clearly lacking imagination there!) and I didn't know what you just taught me about its nutritional value,

and C, it's very hard to get rid of, it keeps popping up everywhere (I know: a useful attribute in a plant you want…)

So after reading your post I'm going to find a spot for it where I'm happy to let it get going, and experiment with it a bit more.

Many thanks again for your work and please keep it up!
Kate
