when i was in KL, i misseddd doing alottttt of outdoor activities....and one of them was gardening...
i missed how i messed up and discovered new things during gardening...with my mom's garden...
not that i couldnt do it while i was in KL....I just found lotts of excuses why i shouldn't....
now im back...so im planning to do alot of outdoor activities while im still in the spirit to do so...:p
above picture: if u are into gardening, i believe you will recognise what Id planted...My father's friend gave us durians...which happened to have small and thin seeds with thick flesh....and the taste of the flesh was just nice...almost heaven...:p
Since the rest of the seeds were quite thin and were unable to germinate....so only left 2 seeds which were slightly bigger and thicker than the rest....What I did before the germinating part....I just washed the seeds clean and wrapped it with moist cotton..and put it inside a fully covered plastic container....(err...to avoid tiny flies .. aka midges?~i guess from coming near :p)...but believe me...the seeds will germinate anyway without care...well, i must say thats the easy part....
The difficult part is to wait for the next 10 years and then some~for the sapling to survive...
above picture: was not planned....my bro have a new hobby...im glad....now i have more helping hands....and that day he came out with a brilliant idea...well...he suggested to use the broken bed headboard(with 3 small compartments) as a flower pot....we...planted alot of chillies seeds(will be moved), pumpkin seeds(already moved to another place...because it needs wider space to grow), corianders aka cilantro( or it could be parsley...im not sure...for me it looks almost the same....)...and one sprouted shallot(tryyy sj)...haha!
i make sure alll the seeds dried out before planting...thats all...
for the coriander (or maybe parsley), we took the uncut corrianders roots straight from the one bought from pasar mainly for cooking....cut the roots part...for about 1 to 1.5inch up ....make sure to leave some tiny leaves....and wala...just find a good compost and put some fertilizer(my bro insisted to put some..:p) and water....
im happy with my garden activities...
so far so good...
Now we're planning to plant cherry tomatoes and white/albino chillies...tryy sj....:p
