Last October, I intent to plant something so I can eat from what I’ve plant, I saw on TV that eating the food that you plant by yourself is something priceless, and it will give you a countless self satisfaction, so then I decided to grow some easy-to-grow plants which are vegetables!
My friend who studied about agronomy recommended me that if I want to start growing plants, just start with vegetables. Why? Because it’s easy to be planted and less requirement, vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, kale land, caisin are easy to grow. And it can e planted in the pot or secondhand pocket or whereelse.
I bought the seeds from traditional market in Sukasari, it cost Rp 20,000 per one package. One package of seeds consist of countless seeds! I think it’s more than a thousan seeds!
Then I prepared the pot as the planter, I collected all secondhand stuffs that are potentially used as planter, and also I prepared the special soil which already mixed with fertilizer (it cost Rp 10,000 for a big sack)
The planting is started!
I realized that planting vegetables is quite easy one!
I just put the soil in the planter and then I put the seeds in the small hole (make several small holes in the planter) for one hole, you can put 2-3 seeds. After that, give some water to the seeds. And finished.
Watering the vegetables once per day, then you just wait it to grow!
The most satisfaction things while you’re growing plants is when you saw that your vegetables are growing and growing.. When I saw my lettuce is growing for about 5 cm, I saw the wavy leaves.. The moment I saw that is made me speechless.
I think that’s why a lot people do gardening or farming as a hobby 🙂
After 2 months, the Vegetables got big!
It turned out to be the vegetables that mostly I saw in the market, and I’m so proud that I can grow my own vegetables (even it’s easy to grow it! Haha)
I feel like I become a player in Harvest Moon game (i played this game when i was in high school), planting, growing, and selling (but I wont sell it, haha).
Well I just keep wait for 1 week or more from now, after that I can harvest it then eat it with chicken or beef with korean bbq eating style!
Interested in growing vegetables? Start now, and you can feel the satisfaction! 🙂
Cheers.
