Bayam

Bayam is the Malaysian word for a leaf amaranth which is popular around the world. It is known as callaloo in the Caribbean. My cousin brought a packet of seeds back from her trip to Malaysia this summer. I planted some seeds in front of the cucumbers on August 1. Pictured is the one plant which survived. I replanted about August 15 with much more success. The seedlings have been transplanted and are thriving.
