Silly over seedlings

The haze may be worsening but it’s not getting me down as badly as before. I have little plants to perk my mood up, you see…

The cucumber plants are almost ready to be planted out into the garden. I want them big enough so that the stems aren’t too tender and attractive to hungry snails.

I have a potful of young kangkong plants that look green and vibrant. I’m going for a crowded look this time, so there are more seeds in there that haven’t germinated yet.

The marigold seedlings need to be separated... that will be a weekend project, probably.

The okra plants (no pic as they didn’t look nice) were rather leggy because I should have put them where they get more light. I’ll just have to sow more seeds…

There are also new seedlings to show -

Three unnamed Thai gourd plants (not all pictured). Hope we get more monster fruits from them!

Long beans - always a good staple here. We love them fresh! I really need to make it a habit to sow new seeds every 3 weeks or so to keep the supply constant.

Coriander - wish it luck because I can’t seem to keep herbs alive for long, but I have seeds, so I’ll keep trying!

And there are other plants in the works since I decided to just keep sowing more seeds. I have quite the collection in the fridge that is a few years old (I keep adding to it!) that I think should be used instead of stored. So now instead of thinking of how awful the haze makes me feel, I have this happy sense of anticipation waiting for the seeds to germinate, and watching them grow when they do. Is that Plant Parent Syndrome? :)
