Futile Harvest

Remember the chillis and onions that Rynae and Mummy planted? After 2 weeks of futile wait, there are still no signs of life for the onions and the miserably few chilli seedlings are wilting one after the other. I told you I haven't any green fingers lor. I'm a green horn! So.. the saying of you reap what you sow is not entirely true huh? One might not reap anything sometimes. Hee..

I decided to pull the plug on this first attempt of gardening and dug out the 2 foul-smelling, rotten onions. I ploughed the soil in both pots and goodness me! The soil beneath was hell muddy! We have drowned the plants! I re-sowed some new chilli seeds, this time making sure I didn't plant them too deep down. The other pot of vacated soil was left to dry. Tommorrow I'll buy some onions and restart all over again. Cross my fingers this time.
