My Dog Diary

As you may know, I’ve been trying to grow some vege seedlings for really a long while, but it’s just not happening. They normally just grew and grew and then suddenly, died.

When I talked to my dad about this my dad said I should just plant the seeds in the garden bed that I’ve prepared way long ago and just let it grow. I told him that I’ve been reading a lot on the internet saying that planting seedlings and then transplant to the bed is a better idea. He said I’m not going to get a single piece of vege if I keep doing this. We’ll see – I said.

Some time last week I was really frustrated, realising the fact that this time around, even nothing is willing to come out of the seedling pot. I decided to place 4 seeds of ladies’ fingers and cabbages each to the garden bed, and water and ignore them. And this morning, I’ve got at least 5 of this.

Not only they are growing, they are WAY BIGGER than the seedlings that I used to have. At least 4 times bigger. I’m really not sure if this whole thing is right but damn it, they grow! Even the soil with the never-germinate-seeds from the seedling pot that I randomly threw in the garden bed had something came out of it. Way smaller than these but they are also growing.

And I start to realise. Perhaps the internet is not always right. Perhaps my dad is. At least until now.
