Just an update on salad seeds that i got from facebook Kebun Bandar. I never thought that i would grow salad, it felt strange to consume them home-grown as i am used to having salad straight from the supermarket plastic containers, so i didn't :) Aside to that we got ourselves two hens, my dad's caregiver brought it all the way from her hometown to our home. And the hens would peck on all my tiny salads and chives.. hmmm..

| On seedlings tray.. they were one of the earliest to grow |
 |
| I wasn't sure how many of them would survive the hot weather, so into a single pot they all went! |
 |
| Looking good after few weeks... i didn't use any fertilizer, just rice water at times. |
As mentioned i didn't really get to enjoy the salad. I was away most of the time and the hens pecked and scratched half of the pot content anyway.. Before long, the remaining salad plants grew taller and produces flowers. To be honest i wasn't expecting any survivors in this hot weather :D So i decided to wait for the flowers to dry and later on plant a whole new batch, this time to be eaten hehe..
 |
| Aren't they pretty :) i believe at this stage the leaves would taste bitter (didn't get to try) |
 |
| After a month - the flowers have dried now... and wow there's so many of them.. |
 |
| Salad seeds :) back to the beginning... |
