After tomatoes, the bed was left alone recuperating. The soil was loosened up to about 8 inches deep. I mixed a little bit of lime and poultry manure into it and watered the bed every evening. There are 6 marigolds about 6 inches height left to grow within the plot. I just transfered 4 into the bed and with the poison baits placed around them, they are very safe to continue growing, I will continue with another two soon. At the front part of the house, there are 15 marigold seedlings about 2 inches high, and they will be transplanted soon too. The intention is to place them closely packed at the front end of the bed.
At the same time, other veggies are germinated; choi sum, spinach, pak choy and roselle between 1 to 2 weeks old.
With Yeop's help I took these photos right in the living room at night without flash. The soy drink can, place the seedlings in relative size... The intention is to grow them in both the bed and in clay pots.

ReplyDeleteMost nurseries here dont sell veggie seedlings, therefore we really have to germinate them from seeds.. sweet experience seeing them growing, little shoot, two leaves, four leaves and so on... The hardest part is to thin them out.... Hmmm.
