out with the old, in with the new

Pointsettia is now officially kaput.
K.A.P.U.T.

After dropping ALL leaves, it's stem is now finally all browned out and somewhat shrivelled.
It's a shame really...when it survived all the way from December 2018 when I received it as a Xmas present.

My cousin gave me a DIY gardening kit for Xmas too. It was a sunflower kit.

Thought I'd give it a try 1 month plus ago.

The first batch of seeds yielded nothing. In fact, the seeds turned mouldy. It was probably my own doing because I'd wrapped up the pot surface with cling film to create a greenhouse effect and to retain moisture. Learnt it online last time....guess that method doesn't go too well with sunflower seeds.

So anyway, about a week ago I threw in the second (and final) batch of seeds and lo and behold!!
There are now at least 3 seedlings which have sprouted!

Yay yay yay!

I hope they grow abit stronger before I transplant them to bigger pots. And I hope they survive in the new pots as well and grow up big and strong!
