My first harvest from my own little garden

It has been almost 2 months since I’ve started planting some vegetables and flowers. Everyday without fail, I will water my plants, give them nutrient (baja of course) and kill the bugs that tries to eat my plants… Now, I successfully harvested my first batch of spinach. Hooray… Unfortunately, since I planted very little so they spinach was not a lot… It can’t even be one person’s side dish. hehee… Beside, some of the leaves got old coz I didn’t pluck it early. I let it grow because I want to see how big the leaves can get.

To tell the truth, potting sand produces healthier plants. My friends are quite amazed at the size of the leaves that is growing in my plant. They said that they tried to do some gardening in their house but the leaves were never this big. I got to agree with this because even my mom who tried planting in our house garden was not producing healthy plants. So, I guess the health plants comes when you actually invest some good potting sand, nutrient/fertliser, water adequately and check for bugs or insects that may be harming the plants. Would you believe if i say that everyday when I come back from work, I will check on my plants. I will look for bite marks on the leaves and also check out how much they have grown :P It is like looking after a child… hahaha…

My very own nursery

I’m not talking about childcare centre, I’m talking about Plant nursery. Hehee… I’ve started growing my own vegetables and flowers. It is kind of difficult to get fresh vegetables, hence I decided to grown my own.

Thyme herbs sprouted within 3 days

Right now, I have planted chilli, eggplant, okra, thyme and many more… I was so happy when I saw the seed germinated. I don’t have basic knowledge except the one learned in school but that was about 15 years ago. Hehee… so, I looked in the Internet to learn about the basics. Boy!! Am I glad that Internet is there to help…

Getting started was quite easy, I just went to the Ace Hardware and Houze Depot to look for pots and seeds and after that you just got to look in the internet for the proper instruction. Voila!!! Your plant is ready to grow.

 

I am still in learning process though… my hubby is so afraid that our small garden is going to look messy with all those plants but I assured him that I will not make the garden look like a jungle. I am looking forward to develop my beautiful garden… :)
