I''m looking for cuttings of Okinawa and New Zealand spinach and comfrey. Anybody like to donate some or sell them to me?  I'm also interested in rare and exotic herb varieties, and other perennials.  Also small, inexpensive fruit trees lovingly grown. Starting a small food forest for a friend, no charge so trying to go inexpensive.

Tina,
I suggest you forage for cuttings to root from wild plants that are found right along the cliffs along the coast in many places. They are easy to root. Some seeds should be ready to harvest also- they take a while to get going.

Anyone in LA know where some is growing wild down on the cliffs of Santa Monica, or nearby?

You can find seeds for sale everywhere, (also known as Tetragonia tetragonioides) but I like to support great little seed companies like:

Redwood City Seeds (incredible pepper selection)

Or
J.L.Hudson Seed Company (very diverse selection of plants, with great ethnobotanical info)

use the search box, or find it under Specialty Veggies, under Spinach.
