New Foreign Additions

BF's mom and younger sister are here for a visit and the mom brought some foreign friends - Royal Red Amaryllis, Aloe Vera from Gran Canaria and 2 varieties of cactus.

My seedlings are doing pretty well.

True leaves of tomato seedlings have took its form and the roots have rather long and already intertwined with one another. I'm going to have problem separating them out soon.

Not all powder puff aster seeds germinated - maybe they need a little more time. 

Cute arugula seedlings.

Fennels and carrots too have its true leaves.

My seed potatoes grew!

 Finally hung the purslane using my homemade pot hanging rope.

Bought 2 packs of vermicompost to try out since home composting is not possible at the moment.

Weekend Task

Saturday morning saw me visiting my usual nurseries at Tropicana to get more soil. Dropped by at the first nursery, Kohortica to say hi to the friendly staff. They are well-stocked with roses and beautiful red lilies this time that it is such a shame I have just a balcony! Katsura has the best gardening soil by Gafri and it is so cheap - a pack of 28 litre for MYR10. I got myself 3 packs of them and 2 Baba Planters with the wrought iron window planter box.

Finally planted 3 of the chitted potatoes - 2 in a plastic woven sack I found at work and 1 in the gardening soil bag. 

An update on the seedlings - Arugula has sprouted. The rest are growing but I kind of worry about the kohlrabi - they haven't sprout so I put new seeds into the pots again today.
