Nasturtium Trellis and Finally Some Broad Beans Pods

Since we've been working from home I've noticed the Nasturtium bushes are growing rapidly during winter and they finally reached a good height for me to train them along the horizontal trellis along the fence. This has been a long awaited moment and it's finally happening. It looks like it won't take long until they reach the whole length of the fence. I'm so excited.

Some of our broadband are finally showing some seedpods as well. Lots of new flowers are popping out as well so maybe we'll get a good harvest this year. 

Super Speedy Grower Indoor Plants

Hello everyone, I propagated a few indoor plants a few weeks ago and I only just realised today that they are looking so much different!! 

This is a photo that was taken on 19th Feb 2020:

And this is from today (6th March 2020):

All three of them has a new leaf each and another new growth. And, the leaves are bigger. 

These 3 plants are pretty amazing and grow vigorously once their root system is established. The plants from left to right are: Golden Pothos (Devil's Ivy), Pink Syngonium and Ctenanthe Grey Star.

Superfood Sprouts

A fdw months ago, I came across a book in the local library about different superfood and that's how I started experimenting in growing mybiw sprouts. The first few attempts weren't effective because I used soil and I had to throw away most part of the sprouts. So, I tried a different method which used jars to grow the tiny size sprouts. 

I started with sterilising the glass jars, as I have used them for other purposes, such as oil infusion and storing dried herbs.

Then I soak the seeds (photographed here are Fenugreek, alfalfa and Japanese Radish) for a day, before draining them and placing the jar upside down to allow the water to drain.

The process of rinsing and draining continues for 5 more days before the final rinse and storing.

The only sprouts that I continue planting in soil is the sweet peas. I started the process by soaking the seeds as well, before planting them firmly at the top of a very shallow soil:

All of them are awesome in salad, sandwich and even curries.
