I believe that a plant(may also be called "weed") appears in someone's garden indicates that either the garden or the people who live there are in need of its benefits. Enjoy your 'magentaspreen' goosefoot plant. on the Real Seeds website says for it: ''There’s really no excuse for plain old green salads now! This is a very attractive and easily grown plant, used both for salads and cooked greens. This variety has bright green leaves, which are frosted with a sparkly magenta colour when young. It is very pretty in salads, or you can use it as a cooked green too. This is quite easy to grow, but it needs cool nights to germinate. Therefore early spring sowings (up to end March) are fine under cover, but make later sowings outdoors so they don't get too hot.''

Hi Mark, Our place is in Cairngorms National Park in Aberdeenshire. My husband and I are relatively new to growing, and so far have had mixed results. The elevation, wind exposure, slope and access to site during the winter are our significant challenges. It is a beatiful vild area though.
