Have a little faith

So remember when i bought some mint and decided to salvage some to grow it with a little help of my water retaining bubbles?

Well... It indeed slow down the rate of decay and the leaves did stayed fresh (majorly) for 3 days. Nevertheless, i think the post harvest treatment is a bit bad as so many of them died starting from the middle stem, despite the new emerging root from the lower nodes. Pardon my scientific gibberish.

It end up with only few stems left, as one by one the whole stem decayed and it basically kills the leaves. Dead leaves = no significant photosynthesis = less possibility of root forming.

I decided to maintain two of the stems i salvaged as it showed apex growth as well as root growth, despite of the almost dead stem.

So i still have a little faith on this stem:

New babies!

I purchased seeds 2 days ago and it arrived at my office today. I am basically thrilled and decided not to go back to my hometown this week, i'll just do some gardening week (again) and have fun.

Here's my babies:

So, i have:

Oregano

Lemon basil

Rosemary

Corriander

Kailan

Pak choy

Lettuce (romaine?)

Parsley

Cabbage (?)

Spinach

That's quite a lot, right?

Well, i bought them for a cheap price, as i bought it not as much as the original packing. Not bad i think, compared if i have to buy the original pack... It cost me like 50-80 times than this. And i dont have that much garden in the first place :)

So i planted them on egg shells as planters. After they grow, i'll move them to my recycled bottles farm.
