My husband finally got me another big bag of potting soil. I haven't planted any new seeds since the weekend as I've been busy repotting seedlings from our plant nursery. I had to thin the pots where the seeds have sprouted. So far, I've repotted the following:
- 2 varities of tomato
- bok choy / pak choy
- kai lan (Chinese broccoli)
- pechay
- bell peppers
- chili peppers
All for now. I've got more seedlings growing at the nursery such as sweet basil, eggplant, spinach, and kale. I'll probably repot and transplant some more seedlings in the days and weeks to come.
What's growing in your garden?

@almostoveryou that isn't a good thing. I think adding a fertilizer can help

@amitkokiladitya We do use fertilizer from compost, worm castings, and coco peat. I just hope we get better sunshine in the weeks ahead. It's already the rainy season that's why it's often overcast in the morning and in the late afternoon.

Oh thank you! I'm concerned that some of my seedlings are not growing as fast as they should. We don't get a lot of morning sun lately.

Good to know that you can grow your own garden in the campus dorms.

I hope you get to start your own garden someday. It's really relaxing and rewarding.

Wow,
You have been busy.
Impressive list of stuff you have grown from seed.
Chinese Brocoli, is that ornamental or edible? Sounds exotic.
We have a selection of stuff in the garden.
None of it expertly grown.
All quite straightforward.
Potatoes
Raspberries Strawberries Brambles ( blackberries)
Sunflower, Calendula Wild Roses, Peony,
And a stack of other plants all recognised by the good folks on here if not by me lol

Chinese broccoli is edible. Oh lovely that you got berries there. We can't grow them here. But I'd like to try planting potatoes next time..

I would like to grow lemongrass as well. I like to put them in soups.

Yes, that is exactly the goal. We want to be able to harvest greens every day.
