Hello Everyone!
It's me, Pabodha here. I am doing some home gardening in my spare time. Also, it will give me immense pleasure and mind relaxation to see how the seeds turn into baby plants and nurture them into big boys and in the end give us a chance to enjoy the freshness! So why not have even a small balcony home garden? I think that is one of the best ways to spend your spare time!
So I am here to share my gardening journey with you all and I welcome everyone to my blog. Let us join hands to make this world greener and let us stay healthy! Please keep reading...!
So, today I want to show you one of my flower Pricesses-Zennias. And this is how they came to my garden!.
-------- GROW MEDIUM --------
I used the usual growing medium as I have used in other plants that have been described in my other blog posts. Basically, it is a mix of compost, dried sawdust and surface soil(mostly sandy). You can refer to them here. I used the grow bags for the germination process. I watered the grow bags filled with the above-mentioned growing medium before sowing the seeds as I thought watering after sowing will move the seeds deep into the soil. Then after sowing, I covered the seeds with some surface soil and watered them slightly. So now, as you can see below, they are waiting for the moment of coming above the ground and kissing the sun!
-------- GERMINATION --------
I watered twice a day till the seeds are germinating as I had sunny weather conditions (My all-time tip 😊: if it rains, no need to worry much about the tough watering schedule. Also, make sure to cover the growing bags till the seeds are fully germinated to avoid seeds moving down or being washed away due to Rains). It took less than 5 days to germinate and the sprouts to come out. You can see below what my 4-day-old plants look like.
