Hit & Miss

I have been pretty diligent lately, spending more time at the balcony taking care of the plants and watering a lot more since it has been really hot. 

Monkey pitcher is now sharing the pot with a rogue fern.

Alor Vera from Spain, succulent from Santorini are doing pretty well after much care and fertilizing. 

Bentong ginger isn't doing well - it doesn't need as much water that I thought it'd be. 

My pot of random succulents are looking better. A lot had died as you can see and I've started to fertilize them. See those fertilizers? They stink like chicken poo. 

More basil seedlings popped out on the mint pot. 

Transplanted the hydrangea to a bigger pot with Miracle-Gro soil that used to house the miniature gardenia. Oh the gardenia died after almost week of transplant. 

Desert rose flowering again!

Okra plants are still producing - this time shooting out from the leaves too. 


Okra container is sharing with a single shallot that grew shoot. Those seedlings in the egg box are basil seedlings for my colleague.

Sowed some Japanese kale seeds and they have sprouted the next day. It's sharing container with white turnip (free seeds from the usual site I bought my seeds).

Wild strawberries are growing pretty slow. I have made a mistake by planting them too deep covering the crown. 


The rest of baby Chinese kales that I grew the last time. 

Those aren't evening primrose, they are mints actually. 


My chives are so small! 

Supermarket lemon seedling!

Houston We Have a Problem

I have concluded that my plants are lacking of sun - most of them are 'leggy', or etiolated and slow in growth.  My potatoes are spindly, I've removed one tomato seedling for more space and of course, removed them to a sunnier spot.

A seedling grew right below the pot which I grew lavender- I don't think it's lavender. It could be poppy. Let's just wait!

My balcony is the best place to plant hydrangea.

Bali Hai Gold inflo.  

A trip to a house depot found me these 3 products. Fish Emulsion made my hydrangea very happy because of that, I have quite a high expectation on Uplift which is also certified Organic. Let's hope it doesn't disappoint me!
I also bought more vermicompost which was MYR0.10 cheaper. Heh.
