test kangkung in an area always waterlogged

This corner of the house always has water... mostly from the pond overflow, and also from the roof runoff, reservoir overflow, etc.
However, there is no direct sun. So lets see how the kangkung will fare.

25 July 2020 update:
Five days after throwing a cutting into the puddle...
It's doing ok. The youngest few leaves are all up, and it has started to take root. I will try to do a close up in the next update.

28 July 2020 update:
Lots of roots, but the young leaves being attacked.

5Aug2020 update:
We have had some dry days. The cutting is still doing well.


The roots have really extended out in search for water. Kangkung is always thirsty.

23Aug2020 update: Growing well

14Sep2020: Looking healthy. But it gets in the way and I keep stepping on it at least once a week. Will probably pull it out soon.

29Sep2020: It is getting out of hand. It set root in every crevice and wound its way out in multiple directions. 
Scary! I pulled it all out!
