lima's observational diary - radish sprout

a thread 🌱
🌱 day 1

i am going to soak it in water for 24 hours first
the name of the sprout is ぼうけゃん (Bou-chan) ☺️
sis told me that radish sprout seeds shouldn't be soaked for too long! i don't have a sprouter so i use yogurt container and stabbed it with a knife to make holes at the bottom πŸ€“

closed it with a lid and put it in a dark place
ぼうけゃん、i hope you grow strong and healthy πŸ₯ΊπŸ’•
🌱 day 2

changed the water and widened the holes at the bottom because i'm afraid that the holes are too narrow for the roots to come through πŸ˜…
as you can see some of the seeds are starting to germinate πŸ™€πŸ™€ so exciting!
i'm not a green thumb, i hope ぼうけゃん can grow well πŸ₯Ί
🌱day 3

more seeds start to germinate but it's not a lot. i wonder if some of the seeds died because i soaked them for too long? 🧐
my sis told me to add paper towel to help the roots have something to hold on to, i hope it can helps the seeds 😢
i'm not a green thumb.... πŸ˜…
🌱 day 4

after i added paper towel, the seeds seems to grow tremendously πŸ™€πŸ™€πŸ™€ so exciting!!! the roots are growing and i can see the little hair as well!! wowie 🌿✨
seems like the decision to add paper towel is right hehe 😁 ぼうけゃん looks way more healthy than yesterday 🌱
🌱 day 5

it's growing nicely!! ✨
some of them has little black spot... is it mold? 😰
i wonder if it's time to expose it to light... πŸ€”
but i'm going to let it sit in the darkness so it can grow some more before i introduce it to light πŸ€“
γΌγ†γ‘γ‚ƒγ‚“ο½ž please grow well~!! πŸ˜†πŸ’•πŸ’•
🌱 day 6

it has grown so more but... more brownish-black spot 😭
ah i'm worried.... ぼうけゃん、are you sick?? πŸ˜ŸπŸ’¦
seems like the dark place was too humid for you.... 😞
i'm going to expose it to light today, i hope it will feel better soon πŸ₯²
γΌγ†γ‘γ‚ƒγ‚“γ€δΈ‹ζ‰‹γγγ™γΏγΎγ›γ‚“πŸ˜­πŸ’¦
🌱 day 7

it's getting taller!!! 😭✨
and since i exposed it to light, it became green too 🌿
seems like ぼうけゃん is really sick though 😢
it smells kinda weird πŸ˜…
but when i tasted some of it, it doesn't taste bad?? 🧐
also i didn't know radish sprout is kind of spicy! πŸ˜†
🌱 day 8

(double update because i forgot to upload yesterday)

can you see it's growing taller day by day?? πŸ˜„β£οΈβ£οΈ
the weird smell also disappeared!! 😭
i wonder is it time to harvest it..πŸ€”
do you have any idea how should i eat it? πŸ˜‹πŸ΄
raw for salad? πŸ₯— or topping on pasta? 🍝
🌱 day 9

i am proud to say that i have harvested it 😌✨✨
i can't cook well and i don't really like salad so i ate it with noodles!!! along with a poached egg, it made this instant noodles not so shabby 😝
ぼうけゃん、thank you for growing up well! you're delicious!!! πŸ₯°πŸŒΏ
🌱 conclusion (end of thread)

this past week i tried "gardening" once again after such a long time. i am not a green thumb. even in elementary when we had to grow bean sprouts, i would fail!

but because of jo1, i feel like trying it once again, and it was fun. thank you jo1! πŸ₯°
