Red Malabar Spinach Plants.

How feasiable would it be to ship these? I could offfer these for the price of shipping.

I have 18 plants in a 1/4 of a 72 cell 1020 tray. The plants are 3-4" tall.

Ah I wish I would have known this a while back, I've been growing from seed and they're taking their sweet time growing! I've got about 6 sprouts, one of them with its first true set of leaves.

I boiught a couple of plants from a vender at the BC fest and I can't believe how slow growing they are. I've been giving them all kinds of TLC but they are still growing at a snails pace. I am beginning to think it must be normal for them.

Wood, what I've read about malabar is that it starts slowly and then once the temps heat up and the plant is developed enough it takes off like a weed - at least it's what I read. We will see because I'm ready to start having tons of this stuff to eat!
My temps here have been hitting 85-100 during the peak hours of the day so I expect these to take off pretty soon. Just got the first set of true leaves out of my first sprout and it's been like 6 weeks at least.
