Garden update

It's the first day of the Chinese New Year and I am so tempted to change into my gardening clothes! There's work to be done. The brinjal seedlings need to be put into bigger pots and I want to sow more vegetable seeds. Then I realised I'm out of gardening soil. All the shops are closed for the holidays. Looks like I'll have to get some from the farm when I go for dinner tonight.

I'm beginning to follow my father's footsteps. Mum always complains that he spends his Chinese New Year holidays pottering around in the garden. I think it's a fantastic way to relax, do something useful and take a break from all the eating.

My onion bulbs are finally producing shoots. It has been 12 days since I planted and I was beginning to wonder if they're still alive. Looks like they are alive and kicking. Phew!

Here's my box of kai lan. When I was at the market yesterday, the lady at the vegetable stall was promoting her locally grown kai lan. I bought some (5 small plants for S$1) for taste-test but haven't cooked them yet.

I am so proud of my radish plants. Can you see the white radish protruding from the soil? I can confirm these are not carrots now.

Here's a nice and healthy lettuce growing in my planter box. They do look juicy.

After I transfered the tomato seedlings into bigger planter box, they're growing so well now. Now all I have to do is wait for them to mature and give me red, succulent fruits!
