Three Weeks Since the Seeds Sprouted

It's been a month since I planted some seeds on a seed tray. I got Ramgo seeds for better chances and I'm happy I did. I was surprised some started sprouting in two days, some took a few more days.

One thing that takes time is transferring the seedlings to a bigger pot. That's what I've been working on the past ten days and I'm not done yet. I planted too many mustasa seeds and if it all grows I guess I can offer them to neighbors, haha.

Here's how it's going -

Cucumber 

Mustasa


Cherry tomato


Carrots


I have to rest today and hope I could continue work in the next few days.

Growing My Own Veggie Stash

The seeds have sprouted and I took the opportunity to move some to a small pot. It's really easier if propagate them on a seed tray. You can just scoop them up with a spoon when you transfer it to a pot. 



I'm just a bit worried there's not enough sun. I'm considering moving them to another part of the garden to get better sunlight. For now, they are where they sprouted. I'll give it a few more days before I move them. 


While waiting, I decided to try rooting an onion and garlic. I re-used a coffee cup and cut a hole on the cover to fit the bottom of the onion and garlic. I then put some water (barely touching the bottom of the garlic and onion). I made the mistake of soaking the bottom of a garlic and it eventually rotted. 


Anyway, I placed the onion and garlic in water last Wednesday. By last night it had grown roots already. They both started to produce leaves. I can use it for fried rice or other dishes. I may eventually try my hand again at potting them to grow. I failed before, so this is my third try at doing this. 

Tips are welcome! I'm hoping to be successful at growing veggies this year.
