Grow Grow Grow

December 11, 2010 by Mummybean 4 Comments

Remember that mini garden Noey put together at Hort Park a couple of weeks back? I’d forgotten how easily green bean plants germinate and how quickly they grow!

Monday morning: Little roots germinating.

Tuesday morning: Some of the shoots have already come up and leaves are starting to unfurl. If you look carefully, you’ll see that a couple of the corn seeds have also put out roots.

My little gardener. Obviously more interested in digging things up than leaving them to grow.

Wednesday morning.

Thursday morning: !!!!

Noey admiring his mini-jungle.

Of course with the plants having grown so impressively, I was reluctant to simply let them die out. So I went to buy some soil and pots to re-pot them and see how much they could grow. Then I chanced on a basil plant at the super market and thought, hey, why don’t I just grow one so that I could stop buying packets of basil for that little that I use in some of my dishes. And since it’s Christmas soon enough, I grabbed a couple of poinsettia for for good measure. So now, I — suddenly — have a small, very random collection of plants sitting on my balcony needing care and attention. Well, I’m not really known to have green fingers so I’ll see how long they last!

    I like plants but unfortunately lack the green fingers. Wanted very badly to have a flourishing desert rose potted plant (fu4 gui4 hua1), bought one a few CNYs ago, and finally decided to give it a decent burial. It was really suffering. 😐
