Looks good. Duckweed grows like crazy, wait till it covers the surface. The leaf curry I'd be interested in knowing how it goes coz I have one in a pot and keep forgetting to water it. Thats the main thing I like about AP is it waters the plants for me. :lol:

Judging by the other plant growth, your Cos may be taller every time you turn your back. Looks like standing ovations from all the plants, :hello1: so keep it up!
