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…

![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.](http://www.curiousgardener.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/kangkong23sep15.jpg)
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 even more seeds in there that haven’t germinated yet.
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 -
![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.](http://www.curiousgardener.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/longbean23sep15.jpg)

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?
