Exercising our green thumbs

We adopted a new hobby last weekend. We visited a nursery in Section 17 thinking of buying a plant for my office space. We ended up with 2 packets of soil, fertilizer, brinjal seeds and a pot of daisy.

There's always a first for everything - this was our first try at gardening. I've heard many stories on gardening, Some people can make flowers bloom, others can care for the plant until it produced fruit. But there are also some people who just didn't seem to grow or maintain a plant, it would simple wither even if they followed all the steps. Green thumbs, it's either you have 'em or not. We've yet to find out!


Our pot of daisy, Caring for this plant is fairly simple. Just water it once every 4 days, sprinkle some fertilizer every week and it'll bloom:)

So many seeds to choose from. We decided on brinjal since the uncle said that it's the easiest to plant.

Getting ready to plant. Terence with the brinjal seeds in his hands. They look exactly like cili seeds. It still baffles me how these seeds will soon sprout roots, leaves and (hopefully) brinjals.

The process of sowing the seeds was fairly easy. Mix two kinds of soils and fill the pot 3/4. Water the soil thoroughly then sprinkle the seeds on top. Water again and embed the seeds onto the surface of the soil. That's it! We need to now water the soil every 2 days and soon we'd see green sprouts! Can't wait to see the first glimpses of life. Till then... more green thumbs stories to come.
