More seedlings waiting for their turn.

 


  

  

  




 


More seedlings are waiting for their turn to join brinjals, chilies, ulam raja, tapioca, ginger, asin-asin, pandan, papaya, banana, chives, basil and tomato that already set foot in our little vegetable garden, now that the weather is a lot nicer, with less rain. The plan now is to have a little bit of each, mixed kind of design. So each type will get into the garden at different time, depending on their rate of germination. Huh, radishes rank among the first to germinate....

Seasoned Gardener may recognise some of the seedlings... yea?

  1. Dear Bangchik, You continue to astound me. The time and patience required to grow all of these vegetables from seed is most commendable. I shall look forward to seeing them planted out.

  3. I have always heard that radishes are the first to germinate, but then I get impatient waiting for the other seedlings to start :-)

  4. Great to see life begining in your little veggie garden again - I am not much of a veggie grower so I haven't got a clue which is which of those little seedlings.

  5. Radishes first to germinate and first to harvest...you are going to have a fantastic garden.

  6. I bet the radishes are out of the ground before some of your seedlings are planted out. They're such a fast crop to grow.

  7. I love seeing new seeds sprouting. You are going to have a great variety when it is all done. I cannot grow radishes they get all pithy with me but I do love the things.

  9. ...Im amazed to see each seedling got their own little pot. I often dump all the seeds in a tray and only transfer them when they have successful germinated.

  16. Friends, Bloggers and Gardeners, thanks for the visit and comments.

    Well drained potting soil, no direct sunlight, enough water and fresh and good seeds are the main factors affecting the rate of success for germination. Coming to the third year of gardening adventure in this little vegetable garden, make me realise the importance of good seeds.

    I normally buy seeds from the supermarket at gardening section. There are many seeds in the packet. Whats needed is just a little. Then the packet will be kept away with the remaining seeds. Subsequent germination of the seeds will show a big drop in the rate of germination success. That is the lesson learned after two seasons.

    There is a certain amount of anxiety with the germination process. I keep looking at the little pots to see how the seeds doing.

    As most seem to agree, radish ranks first to germinate, and grow at quite a pace!

    Cheers,
