Woke up to a surprise flower! This is the winged bean, or Psophocarpus tetragona. I have tried multiple times to grow this and failed each time. My guess is that maybe the roots are very sensitive to over or under watering but I’m not 100% sure.

It’s still looking not too happy but it has flowers which is the farthest I ever gotten with them.

Various garden blorps.

— Amaranth seedlings

— Gonialoe variegata being pleasingly geometric

— The Sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis) isn’t aborting it’s flowers anymore! Only the pistilate flowers have opened so far with few stamenate ones open so I don’t have much pollen right now to work with.

— Winged bean seedling hidden among a bunch of miner’s lettuce. (Which I like to grab to munch on occasionally. Easy salad!)

— Why cucurbits are hard to start indoors: they are very lemgthy. The cucamelon is crawling over everything.

— Osaka purple mustard

— Aloe comosa seedling
