Can't get enough of seeds and plants

Its a wonderful feeling to receive plants from friends and seeds in the mailbox.

Sr. Nor kindly gave me a baby curry plant last week. I hope it'll grow well in the container.

I am planning to give away sensitive plants to friends' kids so that they can experience the fun of seeing the leaves close after being touched.

I ordered Edamame (soy bean) and Thai Basil seeds from No Thyme Productions and planted them last week. Since we eat edamame at least twice a week, it just makes sense to grow our own. I also want to try adding Thai basil leaves in my cooking, so hopefully we will have bunches of it growing in our garden soon.

I am reusing milk jugs to show kids how to reuse common household items. Yesterday I transplanted marigold and basil seedlings into these milk jugs. I cut drainage holes in them before transplanting. Allah SWT willing they will grow well in these containers.

Husband said that I have to stop growing more plants in our patio so that it will not be overcrowded. I know he is right, so I just have to fight the urge to keep growing more seeds.

I think I might be able to stop myself from growing seeds by drawing the garden's progress on a sketch pad. It's been almost 15 years since I last held a paintbrush for my art class when I was in Jurong Junior College. Well, one is never too old to pick up a new hobby. That way I can keep my hands busy and teach daughter drawing as well.
