Until now I had been planting full sized petunias in my AeroGardens in the winter, but this spring my new planter came with petunia pods that feature a miniature variety.
The leaves in the foreground are Jute (aka Egyptian Spinach) which may be better known for making rope than for cooking. It is, however, a delicious, nutritious and attractive plant that is easy to grow, especially in hot dry areas.
These leaves, removed from the stem cuttings now ready to root, will go in the soup.
These are the parent plants, about one foot tall .
These are stem cuttings.
These are healthy roots growing in a vial of water.
