49 Weeks! This is my entry for this long running contest by the marvelous 
#fruitsandveggiesmonday
Our local botanical garden has an exhibit this year that they are calling "Plants of the World" and it has been such fun to see all the different plants growing.
This one is in the Japan section and is called Malabar Spinach. It has many different names in the other countries around the world where it is popular.
It grows well during the heat of the summer when many of the leafy greens have died off and it likes to have a trellis to climb on.
It can be eaten raw, stir fried or added to soups or curries. When cooked it changes texture and is referred to as 'slippery vegetable'.
