 12/ Katuk. Consistent producing perennial. 

I use this plant a lot. I cut a couple of sprigs with leaves on them for salad nearly every single day. Can also be cooked. It needs to be brought indoors in winter. Since it’s in a pot, it does need to be fertilized occasionally with nitrogen-rich fertilizer. Can use compost or grow beans as companions for this. Not a major water hog. Survived tropical storms ok. Gets eaten by rabbits so needs to be caged. 
 @adfbf87b what does it taste like? 
 @ec45f895 it has a peanut-y flavor with a touch of green ❤️ 
 @adfbf87b have you ever grown watercress?  It's super easy, unless your dog eats it like mine used to.  Very good nutritionally as well 
 @ec45f895 yeah I did once but it got buggy in the sunroom with my other plants. It’s too hot to grow it outside or in the sunroom most of the year. I pull hundreds of plants into my sunroom and garage during winter and they bring bugs with them. So whatever I grow needs to be really pest resistant or the plants will be overwhelmed by spring. I do buy ladybugs for the sunroom.
