Moving on

Spoiler alert!

     If you're a plant-lover, I won't suggest you to read this post.


For the first time in more than 5 years, I experienced heavy rainfall in Malaysia every single day.
Usually, I wouldn't be so concerned about it. But not anymore. For I had to watch my plants drown in water each day. And this plus no sunlight equals dying plants. And to make the story short, at the end, all of them died. *sob

My balsam, basil, chervil, mint,... all of them. Now, I only have my aloe vera left, and they don't look so good either. And 1 basil seedling that looks pretty well. It took more me than a month to get over that.

This used to be a healthy calamansi seedling.

The only surviving basil seedling. How it survived? Beats me.

My not so good-looking aloe vera.

I'm trying to put them back to life. Hopefully, they'll get healthy.

Now, I finally moved on, and had the guts to start all over again. Starting with:

OREGANO

A friend gave it to me yesterday. I just immediately put them into soil when I got them.

Please, Mother Nature, let it thrive.

PAPAYA

As you can see, I'm using an egg carton. 

I've got a bunch of them, and finally found a way to recycle them. 

I've been storing the papaya seeds for more than a month. Let's see if I'll succeed again. 

*fingers crossed*

CHILI PEPPER AND CALAMANSI

I had plenty of them in the fridge. Some are dried up.

Instead of throwing them away, I thought, why not sow the seeds? And so, here they are.

TOMATO

Removed the seeds, and put them straight to these used milk cartons.

I'm experimenting whether they will thrive this way. What do you think?

Once again, I'll have my fingers crossed and hope that Mother Nature does her miracle. There's been no rainfall lately, so I guess it's been great so far. Wish me luck! And I do wish you luck too. ;)

I'll update you with the results next time. Till then. Happy Gardening!
