DETERMINATION IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS

I remembered I bought three packets of vegetable seeds earlier during the MCO period and I guess I had to not let these seeds go to waste even though my first and second attempts at sowing were in vain.

So we shall wait for a few more weeks to see if any vegetables or plants will sprout out of the soil.

From the previous activity, there is only one lady finger plant that is growing healthily and hope that it will survive for many more weeks to come.

THE FARMING ACTIVITY MUST GO ON DURING THE MCO PERIOD

We were informed yesterday the Movement Control Order would be extended for the next phase to fight against the COVID-19. Quick action must be taken so that I will have something to do for the next 17 days onward. So let's experiment more as I still have packets of unopened vegetables seeds in the drawer. I am planting Angle Luffa [Malay: Petola] and Angle Bean (printed on the packets) but I check the Internet, it is called Winged Bean [Malay: Kacang Botol, or is it Kacang Botor?]

Now I shall religiously observe every single day if any new shoots would protrude out of the soil.

If you are wondering, how is the progress of my previous attempt sowing the seeds of the lady fingers and long beans [READ HERE],  here are the results after 18 days. Nothing happened in the DIY pot containing the long beans seeds BUT three small plants popped out in the lady's fingers container. Let's pray they will grow strong and healthy so I can transfer them into bigger pots.

GARDENING DURING THE MCO PERIOD

24th MARCH 2020 ~ This gardening project was done in the closest proximity to the front door of my house during the Movement Control Order (MCO), or any other relevant names given, of the corona virus outbreak.

I found these packets of vegetable seeds in the drawer and so happened I had stock of organic soil bought earlier from the nursery. The first step was to cut the two huge water bottles I had at home and reuse them as the temporary pots. After cutting the plastic containers into half, I had to drill a few holes at the bottom so as to allow extra water to flow out of the soil.

To make long story short, the seeds were safely sowed in the pots and let's wait and see whether this project will be successful. Hope I could have my own vegetables in the garden really soon. And I have 21 long days to carry out my observation and at the same time to find other things to do to occupy my time. *sigh*
