Homegrown Vegetable

Growing your own vegetables at home might is fun and you always look forward to see their different growing stages. Like from seeds to seedlings; small plant to adult plant, flower to fruits. Every stage takes time and we need to care for our plant by giving them water and sunlight in order to keep them healthy.

Although my house corridor has only limited space and sunlight but we still managed to grow some vegetables like bok choy, bittergourd, cherry tomato, okra and some herbs that mum can use for her cooking.

Homegrown Cherry Tomato Using Hydroponic Kit

I love growing vegetables and fruits but due to space as we do not have land outside our house, we can only grow them in pots. But things changed when school brought us to learning journey at hydroponic farm where we see vegetables and plant are grown in liquid nutrient solutions rather than in soil.

My gardening hobby was inspired by my mum's friends @wokkingmum and @smallsmallbaker as they both planted many edible vegetables and fruits at home such as cherry tomato bittergourd, ladyfinger, spinach, edamame and etc.

Homegrown Blue Pumpkin

This is our Australia Blue Pumpkin patch. It takes about 3 months to grow into this stage where we could see all those yellow flower bulbs. I really hope these bulbs would be able to grow into at least one pumpkin fruit.

Homegrown Bitter Gourd Plant

Remember my last post on homegrown plants where I planted some pumpkin and bitter gourd seeds. Those bitter gourd seedlings that I grew, 4 of them had became adult plants and bear fruits. Above is our homegrown bitter gourd which is about 15cm when harvest.

{Hobby} Growing Plants and Mushrooms

After seeing Small Small Baker's homegrown bitter gourd (photo here), I also ask mum to give me some bitter gourd seeds when she bought one for making soup. I planted the seeds and after a week it grow into seedlings which hopefully they will grow well and starts to flower and fruit.
