Update On My Indoor Garden

Summer has been good and my plants have grown rapidly, at least some of them. In my recent post tomatoes were still tiny and others were nothing but seeds. It hasn't even been two weeks but I'm too quite excited about how things are developing so I just had to post this update! So let's check out my tomatoes first:

Cherry Tomatoes

These guys have been growing up like crazy! I think they are enjoying their spot there on the window sill where they get a fair share of the afternoon sun. The soil dries up pretty fast so I have to keep watering them every two days.

This little one had a hard time growing up and was in the shadow of the bigger ones so I decided to put it in its own jar. I felt like an archeologist carefully removing the soil around its roots. It's still looking kinda down but once settled in the new surroundings I'm pretty sure it will cheer up and be just fine.

By the way, I've been using these things to keep my bag of soil from drying up. I don't know what they are called in English, I don't even know what they are in Finish. But the thing is that it has a really firm grip so it's ideal for this purpose.

If you know someone who works in the event-, film-, or tv-industry and especially with lighting, I'm sure they have plenty of these. They are also great with coffee bags!

Lemon

There are no changes with Lemon except that I took it from a cool and dark place to a window sill with the rest of the gang. I put there 3 or 4 seeds and none of them have surfaced. I'm starting to think would it be ok if I'd dig one up and check out how it's doing?

Mango

This one was really hard to get out of its shell. But once I succeeded in doing that I wrapped the seed in a wet cloth and put it in the closet for two weeks. After unwrapping, it looked really nasty, pale white, and kind of spoiled. Nevertheless, I put it in the pot and covered it with a plastic foil just like the lemons.

Actually, I wasn't quite sure which way to put it in the soil so I googled some photos and noticed that in them the mango seed wasn't fully covered in soil. I did the same and to my surprise just the other day noticed something green growing up!

I'm still not quite sure if it's upside down and if that green thing is a root in fact. If someone could help me out with this one I would really appreciate it.

So there you have it! Tomatoes are doing great, mango might be fine(if not upside down) and lemons remain a mystery. Again, I'm such a newbie with this so if you have any tips or tricks, please leave a comment!

Thank you for reading!
