Heirloom Orach

Orach

(aka Mountain Spinach, Russian Spinach) This leafy green was first documented in the New World by John Lawson, Surveyor General of North Carolina, in History of Carolina, 1714. Orach was also listed by Bernard McMahon in American Gardener's Calendar, 1806. Orach is a hardy, annual vegetable suitable for full sun that grows four to five feet tall. The young leaves can be steamed like spinach or chard and are very nutritious. Thanks to Darlene Brown of Rochester, AB for sending me some Orach seeds to grow this spring.
