They really liked the wet feet I think. <br />Hope yours continue to do well for you.<br />Rob <br />bnbob01https://www.blogger.com/profile/03547138866448495441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-986505071821574769.post-13657799915282607612016-05-17T22:55:09.225+10:002016-05-17T22:55:09.225+10:00My wife bought some kang kong from an oriental sup...My wife bought some kang kong from an oriental supermarket and prepared it with garlic and pepper flakes. It was delicious. I live in Northern Virginia and my lot is not extremely large, so I plant my garden in various spaces where I have room. A Cambodian neighbor ordered some seeds on line and gave them to me. Then her sister went home for a visit and brought back a different variety. I soaked the seeds for 36 hours them put them in a damp paper towel inside a Ziploc bag. They began to germinate in 3 days and continued germination for 7 more days. I transplanted them into a 3 feet X 15 inch X 12 inch self watering container in which I used a mixture of potting soil, peat moss and humus and manure. It has been cool so growth has been slow. I had too many seeds so I planted some in two 24 inch X 8 inch X 6 inch containers. I still have some seeds germinating and am considering planting a row in my garden between other types of greens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-986505071821574769.post-59367782367665328262013-09-22T10:49:08.984+10:002013-09-22T10:49:08.984+10:00Hope it grows well for you..

It looks like this would do well in our climate, and since your soil experiment seems to have been at least a decent success, I'm going to have to give it a try in our garden! So glad to have found your site, thank you again for the great video :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
