Gardening

Shifting in, the boys and I (mostly me) decided to start our little indoor garden. It has since grown from a few small plants to include mint, cacti, gloxinia, and even chilly plants.

It's lovely to see things grow...the trick is to just discreetly discard or replace the dead plants...nothing to do with green thumbs actually. It also helps to have friends give you plants that have already learnt to survive in the indoor environment!

Recently, the big chilly plant that we grew from seed has started to develop flower buds. The boys love to check everyday if any of the white droopy buds bloom.

The mint shoots we got from Auntie BL are growing very well, long enough to twine around the wire rack. The orphaned spiky leaf plant left behind by Auntie C is is also growing baby shoots.

Wondering whether the garden will survive when the cold sets in. But again, I have learnt in Suzhou to just do what you think is right and then. If not, nothing ever gets done :P.
