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?

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.
ReplyDeleteLife continues in this little garden of yours Bangchik.
ReplyDeleteI have always heard that radishes are the first to germinate, but then I get impatient waiting for the other seedlings to start :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat 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.
ReplyDeleteRadishes first to germinate and first to harvest...you are going to have a fantastic garden.
ReplyDeleteI bet the radishes are out of the ground before some of your seedlings are planted out. They're such a fast crop to grow.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI love the photos of your seedlings! They're inspiring me to plant veggies this year!
ReplyDelete...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.
ReplyDeleteLucky you!! Me thinks I see some radish seedling... It is fun to see your garden grow Bangchik. Here we have lot of snow! It is our way you know. ;>))
ReplyDeleteSeedlings always look cute to me :-D Having more variety? That's exciting!
ReplyDeleteThose look like some happy and healthy seedlings!
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get all these seeds. Your seedlings looks so green and healthy.
ReplyDeleteDid you sprout your seedlings. My friends gave me some chillis having pity on me that I went to Australia and couldn't grow some myslef. Must take a photo to show you.
ReplyDeleteThe thought of all that yummy produce that those seedlings will grow up to be is making my mouth water!
ReplyDeleteFriends, Bloggers and Gardeners, thanks for the visit and comments.
ReplyDeleteWell 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,

Is the last one a sweet pea? It looks just like my sweet pea seedlings.
ReplyDeleteThank you for a peek at your promise of spring, the little seedlings - from your snow and icebound friend in Virginia!
ReplyDeleteGREEN IRIS ... yea, sweet pea indeed!
ReplyDeleteJEANNE... a promise for the next gardening season, but we don't have spring here, never ever.

Bangchik, it's going to be wonderful, radishes first then everything else, you soon will be feasting.
ReplyDeleteMelanie, not much of a feast, because we grow a little bit of each. But there will be varieties..... ~bangchik
ReplyDeleteSuch patience and love for plants - to grow and nurture them. when harvested, joy!
