A long due update

I think my passion or should I say desire to garden is burning more strongly now than ever. In every respect to that, I have literally filled out my corridor with plants, or plant pots more specifically, and there seems to be no more space for new pots. Or maybe there is space, just that I need to tinker with the position of the existing pots. What I want to say is, I think I am over-doing the buying and growing of plants. Sadly, even though I am running out of space, I still want to cultivate more pots of plants for my own collection and the problem with this is definitely the availability of resources to do so. I just hope the existing pots of plants can grow as healthily as they can. For now, I will try to reduce the number of purchases until I make enough space for the next few sets of plants that I may be buying.

In brief, I have sowed a couple of really exciting plants. There are Echinacea which I bought from Yates; roselle, clitoria and cotton that I got from a forumer on GCS and ruellia simplex! I really hope the seeds can germinate soon and that my potting mixture is good enough before the transplant. I will be moving these plants into my community garden once I feel that they are strong enough for the move.

Other than seeds that were sown, I have been buying mature pots of plants over the past few weeks. These include Catheranthus roseus or Periwinkle, Graptophyllum pictum or Caricature plant, Artemisia scoparia or False dill, 2 pots of Coleus and Dill. I really hope to propagate more of my Periwinkle soon (btw, it is a pink bright eyes) but I need to wait for the seed pots to mature. Oh, I also bought lemon basil which I have already transplanted into their respective pots.

I still have more plants that I really wish to grow. The wishlist of plants continues to grow.

Lastly, I would like to add an update. In the last post, I have mentioned my Gomphrena globosa, or Globe Amaranth seedlings. Well, they are still alive and kicking, thankfully. I wish they can grow to maturity and give me a sea of beautiful red globes to feast my eyes out! My fingers are crossed!

Photos of my garden will be up soon, as soon as I get them taken! :D
