And then this bed where I added another soil-fertilizer-peat moss-worm casting combo. Out of all the beds, this one is doing the best! Every single seed I planted germinated and is growing like a rockstar! What you see are black chickpeas plants. What you don't see are tongho, another three varieties of lettuces, Mexican mint, and many more plants that I obviously don't remember. :) 😄

I have a total of 13 red carrots growing. I swear this is the first time that this miracle has happened. I tried a new soil-fertilizer-worm casting combo. It's all mixed with native soils. I am going to plant more seeds this Sunday. Even small radishes, beets, and lettuce are going great! So happy!!! Don't know what peppers are doing right now. I will take whatever win comes my way right now. Started way too late with tomatoes.

Surprised to see some of the seeds already popping. I started seeds on Sunday evening. Within less than 48 hours, some of the seeds are already emerging. So nice.

Some of these are supposed to be planted directly in raised beds or containers, but I am not well, and I don’t have time till the weekend to do anything. So, I will try to transplant these as soon as I am well and have time. We will see what all survives.

Crocs went through a downgrade in public perception for some time here in the US. Over the last few years, it has been back in its glory. My experience is that they are way comfy than the regular chappal. I bought a pair only because it was on sale. It’s popular here for kids, too, especially what I have seen in South Florida. Easy to wear and take off, the best thing is that you can personalize it as much as your heart desires. There is a massive market for that.

Last year, I bought another beginner-friendly Canon camera. I taught myself by reading the manual and watching videos on YouTube. I learned one feature at a time. For example, at first, I tried only the Manual settings in different lights— indoors, outside in sunny conditions, and then in cloudy conditions. Basically, keep it with you and keep trying. That's how I taught myself. Whenever I got something wrong, I searched for it online.

A single peanut ended up in potting soil or mushroom compost. Now, I have a peanut plant growing in a container. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Not bad. It took one month from seed to harvest. I am sending these to Arlington tomorrow morning for my friend, along with some bokchoy, parsley, and basil. Next season, I will grow them in a bigger quantity so that there is enough for all of us.

Edited: Added a photo of the seeds packet.

If you are in a cold place, you have much time to start this and harvest. For us in South Florida, time is almost over because of the heat.

I mixed soil from a lot of old grow bags and containers for this bed. I'm not surprised that some new basil babies are here. I will see which one it is. Will separate them in a few days and let them grow. I had three varieties of basil last season.

The Moringa tree is growing faster than the mulberry tree. This one was not a risk. I was confident about cutting down the tree. I had to do it for two reasons. First, it was difficult for me to harvest all the fruits and leaves because the tree was 10-20 feet tall. Second, it was attracting iguanas, especially the young ones. And I hate them! They don't contribute anything. They are so destructive.

The baldie mulberry tree has new growth. I knew I was taking a calculated risk when cutting the tree down to the bark. But then, that's what makes working with plants and soil so exciting. Not a single day without something new and exciting to see or learn.

Finally, gingers are popping! It took them 15-17 days to appear. I'm sharing this in case you are looking for numbers. The weather has been between 65 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit, and it's getting warmer slowly. I guess because gingers are tropical, they want more heat.

I know there are too many of them in a bag. But, just look at them. They are happy. This new soil+compost+warm castings combo is giving me great results in other containers, too.

This morning’s 15-minute break was spent planting French marigold seeds in many tomato and pepper containers.

Then, this corner already has some wildflower seedlings that I threw two and a half weeks ago. I have randomly mixed seeds of French marigold, echinacea, salvia blue, chamomile, and anise hyssop in the leftover space.

All of these seeds are 4 to 2 years old. I don’t know how viable at this point. It’s going to be fun if these old seeds pop up. Imagine the riot of color in this 4x4 bed.

I ordered more soil, compost, and slow-release fertilizer. This year, another project is slowly building soil health in other parts of the backyard. It will take time, but I am patient. In another year or so, more colors will be around my home. More places to rest, more food, build home for birds. That's the vision.

Because I won't be able to use all the raised beds this year, all I can think about is how to get more containers, grow bags, and what not to grow more food. To be honest, I love being single-minded and trying to grow more food and flowers again. Last year was really tough. It is time to bounce back.

When I was struggling with PPD, I bought a lot of grow bags and soil. My garden and strength training literally saved my life. Anyway, today, when I was cleaning the garage, behind a box, I found three more grow bags. So, now I have three grow bags and four more reclaimed containers. This makes me happy because I can plant more turmeric and ginger tomorrow. Next week, I will have more containers for growing potatoes. This feels so good!!
