Make you own garden pot with watercress.

2010-01-17T20:44:00.000-08:00

Soaking watercress seeds in water, the seeds will sprout after 3-4 days, and they will become glutinous.
Wrap a clay pot in a stocking or a piece of tulle large enough to cover the pot (or you may cut a piece of cloth from the unused mosquito net).
Applying these glutinous seeds onto the pot by gently stroking , patching thin surface. The pot will become greener with more noticeable shoots on the next days.

In order to keep humidity, fill water to pot, place it under trees’ shade with sun light.

These pots last for a month, they would also be a great gift for someone you know who is an avid gardener, so let's get started.

Planting green vegetables on banana tree

2010-01-13T00:18:00.000-08:00

Green vegetables are my favorite menu, to avoid some chemical pesticides I like to plant some vegetable in my back yard. Last month I visited one of the plants exhibition in Bangkok and found the interesting idea of planting green vegetables on banana tree which is abundant in my back yard
This is how to do :
· To prevent the tree falls down, support the banana tree with logs
· Make holes on the tree, put the shoots in a slanting direction
· No watering needed
· Enjoy approximate 30 days to pick it yourself.

Here they are - both from the ground and the sky

The number one pest in my back lawn is snail , mostly they come after rain…I was very frustrated whenever my plants are bitten especially ferns that I have to pot them and hang above the ground, but this also attracts bird , they comes often when fruit or seed become ripe, I think it’s because the color catches their eyes, some kinds of seed and fruits turn to yellow or red when they are fully ripe.

How to decorate your life

My friend told me that .. ”As days passed and you are getting older and older, to keep your lively days you should grow plants from seeds… by this way you will keep your eyes on their growth little by little and with expectation to repot and wish to see their flowers”.

I did and do agree.
