I plant in my balcony, I never knew that I had "green" thumbs until I started planting my first pot of cherry tomatoes in January, 2015. I try to plant plants that I would want to eat from, ie: lettuce, tomatoes, herbs, etc. But this is a learning process, what I want to plant may not be what is willing to sprout and grow for me :)
Below are some plants that made my day this week! :)
Blue Butterfly Pea (ebay seller: Panothai) - finally sprouted! I am so happy! I planted about 5 or 6 seeds, but I only have 1 that sprouted, praying that they would co-operate and give me more seeding!
Parsley - just re-pot into a bigger pot. They don't like to be transplanted, they went limp when I was moving them! I almost had a heart attack. They are settling in happily now in the new pots.
Lavender (Paris Garden) - also got a new bigger pot, it is growing wildly!! I read it would take up to 1 year for it to finally blossom? I poured out the whole lavender from Paris Garden and I got only 1 to sprout. I bought more from ebay, and poured into this pot, and none of them had sprouted! so irritating! I think I will dump the remaining lavender into the cactus pot, because they prefers drier soil to germinate.
Cherry Tomatoes (Paris Garden) - I have 3 big pots of Cherry Tomatoes (40cm pots), one of them has flower buds! I am ecstatic! This is one of the healthier plant!
The cherry tomatoes, one of the pot is not doing so well, it has very curled leaves, I am thinking stress or not enough water from the roots. I am not sure, I am a 4 month old balcony gardener wannabe, so it is a learning process everyday.
