Green Day

It doesn't need to be Earth Day to do gardening. On a fine afternoon, I decided to kick start an agricultural course for Rynae to let her understand how to do planting and how plants grow. Mum's not a person with green fingers but growing onions and chillis shouldn't be too difficult I guess? Rynae wanted to drop the whole chilli fruits as seeds after seeing me bury the 2 onions. Of course she soon learned that we have to cut the chillis and sow their seeds into the soil instead. I had choosen small chilli padi because of its cute miniature size but both of us suffered from finger chilli burns thereafter. Ouch!

I was stunned when Rynae poured an enormous amount of water into the soil when she tried to water the plants. I explained to her that too much water will drown them and she replied, 'because I want my plants to grow bigger'. Oh.. children...

If these 2 plants are a success, I might consider growing more! Like tomatoes and lady's fingers. Wish us luck and I'll keep you posted on their growth!
