Veggies I am Growing In Waste Pots — Spinach & Coriander

Now I have no idea what brought into my life this skill of gardening, but after I grew so many flowers, now I am into veggies.

My mother challenged me that I cannot grow vegetables. That made me feel I have to prove myself. She thought that veggies require so much patience and also care, hence I cannot.

But I had to show her that my love can bring veggies to our garden too.

So I started with some left vegetables because I did not have large pots and small leafy veggies can be grown easily.

So I took a few of the waste pots which she threw in the backyard and prepared the soil with lots of compost in them.

Then I let the seeds soak in water for 24 hours and waited.

Then I put the seeds in the soil and I didn’t plan to put them in the proper place.

I placed them everywhere evenly.

See this is how I placed them in the soil and I thought they may not grow because I was so much underconfident while growing them

But still, I waited for them to grow. I gave water twice a day and waited.

Coriander started growing on the 5th day and my spinach took 4 days. Spinach grew faster than coriander and so I was really happy.

This is how much they grew in just seven days 😸. You can see the Spinach seeds are now germinated and I can see the growth. They are growing really faster than I expected.

I am so happy to grow my first veggies.

I am in love with them.

Look at how big they are now. I have grown them so easily in my backyard and that too with so little effort.

I will share another story on how one can grow spinach and coriander at home easily just as I did.

What could be more satisfying than growing your own veggies? This makes me so excited and lucky at the same time.

We should definitely give them a try.

I also went through these amazing stories and I think you will love them . Do check these amazing stories 💕.
