Went to the RN garden this morning with e kiddos for their gardening trip... Sowed some plants for them previously at home and tdy got the children to help get them into e ground... 2 edamame and 3 long bean plants in total... Oh! Spotted some flowers on e black cherry tomato plant too! Wonder if it will fruit successfully coz e weather recently is crazy... fingers cross!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🫰🏻🫰🏻🫰🏻

Using EVA (I think so... not good at those material names) to giap e stems floating on water... can greenhouse them some more... I like to keep my cut stems short... juz personal preference I guess... to me, keeping e stems short makes it easier for me to manage them, as well as allowing them to divert most of their energy to root making... Really love these Blue Spice Basils... they give an unique scent... hv not tried them yet....

09/09/2023

21 days down e road... this is wat my little 🍓 has become... 1st time growing 🍓... I realised tt mine prefer constant moist soil (but not drenched wet), else e leaves will show their unhappiness and become soft n droopy... if I keep e soil with a little bit more water, their leaves r sturdy n perky! 😁😁😁

When u like planting edibles, n u found these 3 "leggy" seeds, what do u do?? Plant them of coz!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

26/08/2023

Nothing beats to see e roots poking out of e pot from below. Now am thinking to let e roots continue to grow downwards n do a semi hydro for it, or to up-pot it... still thinking... still got abit of time... 😁

Growing peppers can be easy, can be difficult... but 1 thing (from personal experience) tt I can conclude is tt, they strive on neglect! 🤣🤣🤣 Neglect on watering, but not neglect on pest routine...

23/08/2023

Just a short of 15 days n both have grown a fair bit. Keeping my eyes very very closely (but somewhat neglecting them in terms of watering) on them.... Will they make it? I can oni say, I will try my best... 🥰🥰🥰

22/08/2023

Introducing my next round of stars! Edible flowers! Sowed 3days ago and now already waking up! E other pot of Viola no sound no sight yet -> no photo coz oni show black soil, nothing interesting... but am really curious how long will they emerge... Well, counting down.... hopefully I don't need to to wait too long! Any tips for growing Nasturtium and Viola flowers?? 😁😁😁

19/08/2023

Almost 1 month down e road and my little 🍓 has grown more leaves (🤨🤨🤨 eh... but of coz rite?! 🤣🤣🤣)!!! Luckily I didn't throw away e pot of peat when I was done with transplanting the basils! Coz 2 more popped out!!! Now waiting for e 2 latecomers to grow bigger b4 sending them off to their new mamas! 🤣🤣🤣

Finally done with procrastinating giving them their better "house"... Giving them another week to stabilise and then off they go to their new owners. Keeping e strawberry though... kekekeke...

8 days down e road, another hair cut session for e doumiao. Can see tt e stalks r getting thinner. Planting 1 round of maple seeds is good to harvest for 2-4 rounds, until e stalks r getting thinner n thinner... I didn't add any fertiliser... juz plain peatmoss and overnite water... e seed itself will hv sufficient nutrients to aid their growth for a couple of rounds... whereby then we need to redo another new batch... Now is another wait of 1week+ for e (maybe?) last harvest... we shall see then if they r up for e 4th round ba! 🤣🤣🤣

30/07/2023

Think tt e 2 peppers r showing signs of stress... quickly mixed some media... this round I used peat moss as base instead of soil, coz peat moss is acidic, which peppers prefer... added some vermiculite, perlite & pumice stones too...

E roots r long n looks healthy! N so, in they go to another pot. Personally, I don't like to pot them into big pots yet for their size, coz it will be difficult to take care... 😁😁😁

26/07/2023

OK! Can eat liaoz! Simply love e "green" smell when cutting them! Washed a few n popped them rite in my mouth! Now gotta wait another wk+ for them to regrow their "hair"... 😋😋😋

25/07/2023

I very scare to repot this orchid... can I keep this in here for e longest time possible??? Didn't check on this for quite some time as e growth is super slow... but! Spotted another growth a couple of days ago!! Feeling so happy now... 😁😁😁

21/07/2023

Collection of wat I am growing now....

Blue Spice Basil shd hv extra to trade or bless... give me a bit more time to grow them bigger... Strawberry is a bonus... didn't expect it to grow...

E spotlight is on e 2 peppers... trying to not to care too much for them, but on e other hand, can't really leave them alone for too long...

20/07/2023

Nothing plant related, other than e flowers in the painting... rainy morning again... lazy to dig e dirt outside along e corridor... rmbr tt I got this booklet tt I wanna give my ger... wanted to juz do a few spots to show her, but ended up finishing e whole pc... 😁😁😁

Very stress releasing! Minimal mess too!! I think I am ordering 1 for myself... 🤣🤣🤣

A rainy morning.... it's home alone today... with my doumiao tt was harvested a few days ago, cooked ownself a asam lasak maggie mee for early lunch. E sprouts r so soft n tender, I juz need to swish them in boiling water for less than 7secs!

Swishing e sprouts in water slightly allows e body to absorb e nutrients more readily....

Pea sprouts r known to contain VitE, VitC, VitA and r superrich in antioxidants! They r oso a good source for dietary fiber and Potassium!

It is quite hard to get a pack of tender pea sprouts tt don't make a clump when we eat... too old liaoz (not me, e pea sprouts too old I mean...). Growing them gives me e chance to eat them at whatever stage tt I want. 😘

Loaded another 3 more "mushroom" trays of maple peas!!! Passing 1 to my makan buddy this Thursday over our soju lunch!!!

I realised tt growing them in peat works better for me... soak e seeds in water for abt 10hrs... fill a tray with peat moss, no nd alot... juz abt 5cm height shd be sufficient.... lay them seeds in a single layer and then spray water on them, keeping the peat moss moist everyday from then on... my previous batch can be harvested on Day8/9.... Love them in my tofu salad! Yummy! 😋😋😋

My precious!!! Keeping fingers crossed.... No words can describe my feelings when I see this little one sprouted!!! When I tot tt all is gone and wasted, I see hope!!!

Clocking 2.48mil SHU, this Dragon's Breath is 2nd to PepperX (3.18mil SHU), followed by Carolina Reaper (1.4-2.2mil SHU). Germinating superhots r not easy. It takes patience and correct inputs. I am still learning... Tried paper towel method, but it doesn't seems to work for me... so in e end, I tried bottom watering with warmer than room temperature water every 2 days. Frankly speaking, I am not sure if this does e trick to push this fellow out.... it is still a mystery which needs more experiments.

어째든... 이렇게 만나서 반가워~~ 우리는 잘해보자! 😘😘

Monday can eat liaoz!!!😋😋😋

Prefer to grow them in peat... works better for me... 🙂🙂🙂
Grab a pack of maple seeds and try out for urself! U won't be disappointed. 🥰🥰🥰

08/07/2023

Grow, Reaper, grow!!! Sowed 2 seeds of Chocolate Reaper but oni 1 made it... Germinating superhots r really not easy... seed quality, soil conditions, temperature... they all play a significant part to germination.

07/07/2023

Half a yr.... don't give up.... so long as it is not dried to e end, there is still hope.... 😉😉😉

Hands itchy... took out e maple peas n soak.... 1 small tray in peat... 1 small tray in water... hopefully all goes well n these 豆苗/pea sprouts can be harvest in 7 days time.

These seeds had been soaked for abt 9hrs... discarded those halved ones n left these... 180 seeds in peat, n remaining in water... curious if there might have any difference in e growth for both trays...
