Part of my brother’s business involves receiving goods in these foam boxes. As we all know, these boxes aren’t recyclable. But with a little hole-poking at the bottom of these boxes, they turn into handy pots for some, if not most of the plants.
We’ve been having our Italian Parsley in the foam box for months. It was about to die when it was planted in an old regular plastic pot, until I moved it into this foam box one day and it started growing like nobody’s business. I think it loves the green move too! ;)

Ever since I fell sick, and the weather hasn’t stopped raining, I haven’t really been taking care of the garden. I checked them out a few days back and found that some are growing well, but some, are a little sad. The Italian Parsley almost died a few weeks back. But look at it now. Growing bigger and stronger. The leaves are so much bigger compared to weeks back! New leaves are growing out for the Rosemary as well. I still don’t know how to transplant and grow more of them. Anyone? The basil was huge and full a month ago, but look at it now. Sigh. They kinda died after I transplanted them into the new box. I suspected it’s because of the lack of drainage holes. I’ve poked more holes and hopefully it will grow back. I really love the refreshing basil tea! About 2 weeks ago Coco dug out my cherry tomato plant. Yeah, dug out. I’ve planted it back immediately and it’s been growing up and down since then. I notice that when it rains, it grows. When the sun comes out, it kinda ‘shrinks’. Probably an indication of ‘more water, please’. :) I’ve then planted 4 more pots of new plants. The cherry tomato seedling is out. The rest, as usual, nothing happens. Sigh. |
