You can grow them anywhere

As you all know, we like to plant things.

Sometimes, the more the better walaupun we know we haven’t got any where else to put the plants, hehehe…

And everytime I go to any kedai yang jual seeds and seedlings, I will stand infront of the seed display and will search for new seeds and pretty looking flower seeds that we can plant.

Therapeutic sebenarnya planting things ni walaupun sometimes the seeds tak bercambah or the snails manage to get to them overnight and eat all the young leaves.

And bila mood menanam seeds dah datang, I will plant all kinds of seeds using all kinds of containers, hehehe….

Sampaikan kat sini pun I boleh tanam Open-mouthed smile

Ini dalam bathroom The Little Misses.

I plant the seeds in a takeaway plastic container lined with egg carton.

I love snowpea sprouts buat ulam and in salad. They taste the freshest when baru petik and terus makan (as normal lah kan).

But kalau I tanam kat luar, the soil tends to get too dry so easily sebab I slalu terlupa nak siram.

So, I tanam dalam rumah but there’s no more space on the kitchen bench/countertop to put the seed container so I pun letak lah in the bathroom tepi bathtub which has a big window with plenty of sunlight. No one uses the bathtub untuk mandi pun so memang a very good place to put plants.

And bila I nak makan, just ambik a few shoots aje.

And since dah tanam sprouts in the bathroom, might as well letak another indoor plant in there as well kan so adalah kawan the sprouts, hehehe Smile.

The Hypoestes freckle face plant.

Is it pokok puding in Bahasa Malaysia?

And malam tadi, for dinner, I had some of the snowpea sprouts buat ulam.

Sedapppppp Winking smile

wan G,
hikhikhik...takpelah, ada jugak termotivated sekejap, ok lah tu ;-)

Rai,
senget2 sbb nak dpt cahaya matahari, hehehe. I kena ubah position dia hari2 baru tak senget. so far, serai yg I tanam dlm pasu, tumbuh ok.

Miss Layaleya,
Salaam. I google Wiki, bukan pokok puding tapi I tak tau nama dia dlm bahasa melayu apa, hehehe. Memang cantik kan! Good luck on that mini garden :-)

Susumanis,
jgn lupa, makan tempe pun boleh awet muda, hahahaha

Dana,
boleh kot rasanya sbb dia suka cahaya matahari :-)

Shamsiah,
Waalaikumsalam.
Samalah mcm time Summer kat OZ ni yg kdg2 mencecah 43C. Bila tgh panas sgt2, I letak some of the pots under cover and memang we all siram pokok2 kdg2 3X/day sbb tak nak dia kering. Memang kena peka menyiram masa Summer ni.

Sue,
makin lama, makin bnyk benda we all tanam eh, hehehe

Nani,
Waalaikumsalam. Kdg2 aje sejuk tangan, kdg2 panas jugak, hehehe

Lily,
Bukan pokok ati2 sbb scientific names diaorang berbeza. But I still can't find the malay name for it lah.

Along Najwa,
Good luck with your tanaman ye! it depends jugak, slalunya I akan buat lubang but yg ini sbb I cuma letak lapisan soil yg nipis and akan slalu petik the shoots, I tak lubang kan the container tu.
