New experiment - water spinach
Originally, I just wanted to do my last harvest and cleaned up the planter. But their roots are so tough! I want to see if they can overwinter.
So, I pruned both roots and stems and then transplanted them back to individual pots.
A small harvest, too
From the close observation, I realized that they can produce basal shoots easily. As the roots are strong, the chance should be good?
Similar way for young asparagus - trimming back the roots and let them stay in the individual pots. Now I have three batches - batch#1 just simply transplanted, batch#2 divided and transplanted, and this final batch#3 - young or divided.
On the surface of the batch#1, I sowed some mustard seeds as green manure.
Okay, always some new things are going on - so much fun.
Something interesting, I thought I grow the same type of Artichoke, but obviously no. They look so different.
Viability test for home-saved seeds (this July) - sweet peas, lupines, and honeywort - very satisfying.
Viability test for home-saved seeds (Last week) - Romaine lettuce, very quickly germinated
