I’m in Habby Blitz (bliss) once again and Hablitzia tamnoides (Caucasian spinach / Stjernemelde / Nordens spinat) is the most important vegetable once again. With some 30 plants (and increasing) there¨’s more than enough to harvest. Here’s a few pictures from an area on very shallow soil (10-20cm) under the shade of a large birch tree where it thrives. And it’s now 20 years since I planted my first!

Hablitzia and Heracleum sibiricum have found each other: the former will climb up the latter as the season progresses

It’s a rare event to find a dead Hablitzia, but this one heaved up in shallow soil until it gave up this winter
