My little "garden"

Well...not exactly a garden. It's just a little corner in my balcony where I indulge in my new hobby of gardening. It all started with that little bean in a can which has now developed into this.



Then I attempted to plant Roselle from the seeds collected from the fresh fruits. Don't have much luck with that. I've sowed more than 20 seeds, only 3 germinated. Out of the 3 seedlings, 2 have gone to the plant heaven and the remaining one doesn't look too good now.

The only ones I've more success with are the Japanese pumpkins, not the mini ones though. I collected the seeds from a piece of organic Japanese pumpkin bought from Cold Storage. Planted 6 of them and all 6 germinated!

I've planted each of the seedlings into individual pots. This was how they looked like 3 days ago...


and now.


Have re-potted one of the seedlings to a big permanent pot.


I'm still considering what to do with the other 5 as I doubt I have that much space to pot all 6 into big pots. Probably need to give some away.

At the same time, I'm also germinating some tomatoes and phlox seeds which I haven't got much success either. I'm contemplating whether I should start on African Violets (AV) since they seem pretty suitable for my environment, one that doesn't receive much direct sun. I thought they would be charming at a little corner of my balcony. But I guess I better take things one step at a time...lol...
