Tomato - Two months into rainy season...

The tomato sprouts well during this rainy season, much the same like all other plants in my garden. Their stems are still very soft though, so probably still a long way to go... I will keep updating this space for any progress. And I still haven't found the tomato heirloom seeds I was looking for, these are the ones I planted from seeds earlier.

Tiny tomato plants...

Tomato - from fruit

Was trying to see if i can get the seeds from an overripe tomato to sprout. So i cut the tomato fruit into four and placed them on the soil, seed sides down. It worked for me but was slower than planting from seeds. After few weeks the sprouts grew about 2" long. So that worked but now i'm going to find myself heirloom tomato seeds/fruit. I'll keep this one as well for side-by-side comparison..

Garden - part 1 - reset :)

Most of the sprouts and mini projects we had started earlier went down due to many reasons, other than busy schedules of our actual day job that kept us away from home during daylight :) except i guess for the corn that grew tall, produced, and became our kitten's go-to scratching pole. The corn plant withered after bearing five corns.. such a shame that we didnt capture the progress. Turmeric made it out alive quite easily. My ginger plant finally grows after a number of attempts. 

Not as lucky were avocados, carrot tops, cherry tomatoes, and long beans. They didnt survive the dry season. Also a row of newly transplanted catnips were swept away by heavy rain and thunderstorms that came not long after the dry season! 

It suffices to say that i am starting all over again.

I've now got carrot top that i keep temporarily at one of the turmeric pot, already growing 2" leaves.
