coleup Here is a link to Malabar spinach that is pretty discriptive: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basella_alba . I had some seed which may have been too old, or I didn't give enough TLC, in either case I will have to try again.
As to the gingerbread, it takes a few years to do. Any hardy plant that lends itself to espalier can be used. In my case, it would be grown up the corner post and then trained along the eaves and gables. I've seen creeping fig, wisteria, ivy, jasmine, and Pyracantha used. The training is pretty intensive but the product is one of a kind. Ric
