Last weekend , got the whole set of saplings inside my kitchen and started transplanting at the weirdest time , 11'ish . Wonder if most of my gardening activities are at night , hmm yeah got to agree not a very early person.Thou i'm bond to do my duties early morning .
So last weekend , my little one went to sleep early and had some time to work on my saplings .If you had seen my last post this a continuation , Cauliflowers, Radish, Spinach , Methi , Mint , Brinjal etc .
So as i said they had grown and it was time to transplant ,but the weather in Doha was really cold , and my whole family weren't keeping well and this kept me busy and i was not comfortable going out early morning or night to work in the open backyard with the Fog , mist what ever you call and then fall sick . This thought kept me off gardening some days but i wasn't happy and continue this way .
So invited them to come in instead , got them into the kitchen , that's the one near the backyard .Started transplanting one by one , filling them up with the compost and potting soil ...
They usually say that spinach is well off and grows better with direct sowing to the destination , but the transplant works as well .
I see huge rays of hope in this cold windy weather , the transplants for the spinach , radish and cauliflower seems to work , ill post pics soon . The methi seems to work in the recycled igloo ice cream box, who doesn't like ice cream isn't it LOL.
The Mint that i sowed didn't work , it died , but the cutting from the grocery seems to work . I just inserted some of them in the recycled almaria milk bottles .
Placed them on the window sill, so guys with less space or space constraints , here you go the above could be grown .
See this , worth sharing the ginger , Coriander from my backyard cut and waiting to go into my Upma recipe .
A view from the side , when its still growing :) see below...

Cant stop showing off my Methi (Fenugreek) After so Many attempts , didn't care much ,Shameless Methi came Up !
Some plants are shameless like us sometimes :) , yeah trust me the coriander that i took more care didn't come up as well , was really angry and threw him down cursing him that i wasted so much time , after so many months , i should say he showed up , stood up for himself with pride , teasing me that i need to learn patience .
Hmm touching him , the aroma wow , i can still smell ! Fresh ! lol Wasn't sure if hell grow up in the poor , less water , hence didn't click a pic , but then when i used it in my recipe it gave immense pleasure , awsum taste . My learning for patience continues .
