From baby to toddler. I mean seedlings.

So, i tried my new projects of frugal gardening, urban farming, urban gardening and kitchen scraps gardening... I already started since last january, but the results are just coming in last march, so i havent been able to write much.

One of the things that i am so happy for is my success in growing snake fruit from seed to seedlings. The seed that i planted was from snake fruit that i ate. And below is what it looked like after i soaked it for a few days in fresh water.

So they will have something popped out from the seed. After that, i planted with the pop facing upward. After quite q while, pinkish stalk starting to grow out from below the soil.

And growing continuously, making you wonder what they are actually doing.

And then something emerged from inside those pink stalks. I was guessing those are leaves. It looked like a closed spanish fan, it will open up while growing.

And continue growing, and now they have leaves!

So i decided to give the first seedlings to my mom. I carry it with me to Bandung and plant it there. One of the seed is already grown in used plastic glass (ex-mineral water glass), so it was easy to carry. Then i prepared the new pot and soil to plant them.

Then i fill up a bit of soil into the pot, and my snake fruit seedlings ready to be repotted.

You can see that the roots already circling the bottom of the plastic glass, indocating its eagerness to grow.

A few minutes later then the snake fruit is ready for display...

We'll see how it grows :)

Scorpion queen - long forgotten

I didnt forget. Just didnt manage to find time to do it. 

The power of what?

I finished knitting a pair of socks in a flash!

Seed kingdom

Been quite busy lately with my urban garden. Just planted my mango and being awed by my ginger... 

Replanted my mung beans... Hoping that it'll work...

Replanted my chili seedlings into a pot. They look cute! And hoping they will grow...

And my secret seeds looks surprisingly cute. Never seen any pinkish sprout before...

And also waiting for these babies to grow...

And hopefully will have some time soon to work with these seeds:

Wait for more stories :)

Back to planting

Now that i have my own space to fill up, i started frugal gardening few weeks ago.

To date, i already have my ginger sprouts:

My mango as well, but i havent move it to a soiled pot:

And the mystery seed (i wont tell until it really grow)

And i just planted my longan yesterday:

Had my carrot sprouted stalks:

And some more frugal gardening that i havent took any pic yet.

I even bought this bottled coffee just because i think that the bottle will look nice.

Look forward for more posts! :)

From him, the yarn

He gave me yarn, and i think i am going to knit a pair of socks. 

A 4 mm needle seems to be good.

Scrap gardening

That is my baby carrot, day 6 after soaking in water. 

This one just planted last night, hoping to see sprouts within a week or so...
