So this was my first try on growing tomatoes. Picked up 2 variety- Roma & Jelly bean. Nothing much to write..... just uploading the pictures.

March'10

So i am in a hurry...need to do all repotting before 24 march'10- reason- will write it later. So my plants r doing really well... worried transplanting them might cause problem.
Drwarf petunia have germinated well and the roots are coming out from below the pots so i bought hanging baskets yesterday from Dollar Tree $1 each. Now planning to put my little plants in this basket.
here are the latest pics!

So in the basket i have put Dwarf petunia while in the single brown pot i have put wave petunia. It seems dwarf petunia grow upright while wave petuni trail....just my guess!!

Project - Avocado !!

I love avocados !!

So i used the toothpick method to grow my own Avocado Tree...hopefully by the time it is grown i will have a home of my own with lawn where i will be able to plant it...distant dream!!

Around October i took avocado seed and pierced it a bit with agarbatti left over stick on three sides and suspended it into glass of water with the pointed edge of the seed facing upward out of water.

Months went by and nothing happened.... the used to fill it up to the brim whenevr the water evaporated. I was patient- infact i had little expectations.

Come Febuary'10 i saw the seeds split open.... but not a sign of root but within a week - ten days a saw a tiny root. This is how it looks right now....no shoot yet!!
