Basil - Papaya - Tomato Seedlings

And after more than 2 weeks of sowing, here are the results: (drum roll....)

Basil

Sadly this time, the outcome is not as good as before. I only have 1 seedling that sprouted. Oh well, hopefully it thrives and matures this time. Although, it doesn't look that impressive.

Believe it or not, that's a baby basil.
It rained last night, that's why it looks faint.

Papaya

Another average result, my 1 papaya seedling. Similar with the basil, I didn't have the same success as before. But I guess it's better to have one than nothing. I hope this one thrives too.

Here it is, one seedling sprouted out of many seeds from a papaya fruit.

Do you think that using an egg carton is not such a good idea?
Or I just happen to have a bad amount of seeds?

Tomato

Although those 2 were a flop, to my surprise, my tomatoes are not. It is my first time to sow tomatoes, and remember, I directly sow them from the fruit. So to have more than 10 seedlings, I think is not bad at all. Thanks to these little darlings, they definitely made my day.


Look! This is exciting!
Guess I have better luck in using milk cartons than the egg cartons.


1 milk carton for some reason has 1 seedling only.


As of today, there are 14 tomato seedlings.
It'd be great if could say "I have 14 tomato plants" too... someday.


Happy sowing!

    1. Yes indeed! I'm hoping to turn them like yours. Haha. Though I know it's still a looong way for me.
