Trying to plant herbs
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌿" title="Herb" aria-label="Emoji: Herb"> now. I have oregano, thyme, rosemary and spearmint seeds. And now waiting for seedling soil to arrive to work on other seeds weeee
Here’s my biggest nightmare, my tomatoes wilted because there’s lack of soil, the roots started appearing... I’m devastated because I ordered my gardening supplies a week ago and they still haven’t reached me. I’m trying so hard not to break down right now...
The lettuce has grown so much bigger! Not yet ready to be harvested though, but I’m happy that we made it through

I’m bad at labelling my plants, I guess this could be spearmint. I tried to germinate rosemary, oregano and thyme but they are nowhere to be seen, yet!

Ali found this tree from our neighbour. From the picturethis app, we figured out it could be catmint. Kek Batik hangs out here quite often, I guess that’s right? Some babies appeared after I put them in the pot

Repotted tomatoes into one pot each. Tomatoes can grow really big and hey have lots of sensitive roots. To compete, they will have to grow taller than each other. Today there is some white spots on the leaf, most likely because there is a lot of ants. I cut down the dead leaves.
Taurus season will bless these plants

When I quit my job in November last year, I told myself I’ll start gardening and plant edibles garden. And start eating more vegetables. I’m really excited to see these plants grow

Shoutout to Ali for prepping the compost. We threw our leftover in a compost bin under the sink, with one part of brown (soil) and three parts of others. Every 2 weeks there will be some water coming out from the waste

I mix the highly acidic compost water to 3-5 part of water. If the soil get too acidic, it would kill the plants instead, so adding water would make it less sting. But it stinks so brace your nose

Sometimes after repotting I will have extra unused soil. But mostly these soil have lose their nutrients due to previous use. I add the pure compost water to them, let the water soak for a day and dry under the sun, then use the soil again. Good as new!
