Edible Plants 2-16-8

The Experimental Cucumber in the seeding tray is still growing taller with the leaves filling in, yet the seed has still not been shed from the top. I find this interesting as I imagined that by now this would have occurred.

I am curious what the initial root growth is like and if there would be any harm, or benefit, in moving this now to a larger container. There are a couple so maybe I'll move one this week and see what happens.





The soybean plants are gorgeous. The stalks of each wrap around the others and continue to grow strong. I'm sure for yield that I would be better off thinning out the plants, but they are fun to watch.

If leaves happen to be your thing, like they are for me, then this is a great plant to have. The leaves on these plants are unreal, looking almost artificial.






The Stevia plants are still a bit slow growing. I suppose that strong light and hydroponics are not ideal for these. A test is in order. Maybe planting this in another area near a window would yield stronger results. In any event, they are still growing strong and continue to produce leaf nodes so I'm not planning to move them from the hydroponics.
