For some unknown reasons, I’ve started to do something that I won’t normally do. To be exact, something that I thought I’ll never do in my whole life. I think this kinda thing does happen from time to time on me. Like I never wanted myself to teach or to be a teacher, but at one point of my life, I was actually enjoying teaching the kids very much. The universe does have its own way of bringing unexpected things into one’s life. :)
This time around, I started planting something in the garden. In short, gardening. Yeap. I’ve killed some cactuses and here I am, planting again. :)
At first I got a pack of carrot seeds when Charles was back about a week ago and started my plan to build a no dig garden. Try googling around and you’ll get the idea. It sounds quite simple and I’d like myself to plant some vegetables in Xiao Bi’s garden territory – and of course I’m going to make her NOT chewing up or digging out my vege. I followed the approach from the Dog Whisperer with her and it seems to be working just fine, and she seems to be totally OK with the yet-to-grow carrot tray. :)
And then I’ve got a huge type of water plant kinda thing from the owner of Xiao Bi’s bf. This one is simpler. Just put the whole thing in a huge pot, add soil and fertiliser and just water it everyday. I like the idea. :)
Here is my carrot tray. It should start seedling (I hope I’m using the correct word, I’m not used to gardening, seriously) in 10-20 days. I hope it does, and I’ll be able to move them to the no dig garden.
So all in all, I’ve started something new for 2009. How about you? :)
Happy New Year! :)








Growing something is a positive, environmental friendly activity. Although I think I probably save more (tree) lives if I keep out of the garden! Good luck and happy new year!!
Hello mh! Well, if my carrots and water plant die, I’ll reconsider to keep myself away from the garden… lol. Happy Great New Year to you too! :)
hmmmm…. is our weather suitable to grow carrots? I thought it’s grown in high hills like Cameron Highlands… Anyway good luck! Happy New Year!!
jen: Erm I’m not sure also. But I was reading somewhere that it’s one of the vege choices, and since I could find the seed at Tesco… so I grabbed it lo. lol. If successful maybe when you and Rainbow come back next time can eat. lol. Thank you and happy new year to you too! :)
You shall see her destroy all the carrot leaves and spit them out from her cute little mouth >=)
