Lots of new things

Those radishes are no longer! They weren't really growing anything anyway and it's been about a month (or more?) by now, so I just made a salad out of them. Yeah there are pictures, but I haven't felt like uploading them since my own laptop died.

Corn is getting pretty tall. I don't like how fragile its leaves are, though. One bend and it seems to wither away haha.

The pea plants are growing pods now, too! I knew that it needed to grow flowers before it grew pods, but I didn't know that it'd actually come out of the flower. Some of the petals are even on the other end of the pod. It's so cute, I want to photoshop smilies on it haha. There are two growing right now, but they both slipped my eye up until yesterday because of how well they blend in with the leaves. They're getting bigger, though! Again, I would post pictures but there's no gumption.. I just want my laptop fixed. umu;;

When it's fixed I'll upload it all.

On another note, I've been keeping the bamboo in the sun and they're still feeding on just water, though now it's filtered water and not tap water anymore. They seem to be doing great, but then again I'm not sure how fast lucky bamboo really grows. It just seems faster. It's in the dracaena family, so it must like sun, right? All that talk about it requiring moderate to low lighting must be rubbish I GUESS, because I see a lot of chinese restaurants do that and they tend to look yellowish. New restuarants tend to keep them out by the front windows and they look pretty green.

Flowers! Well, flowe*r*.



Auuugh things have been so busy lately. haven't been updating much, so it seems as if these plants are growing super fast. Well, I guess in essence they actually are.
I'm excited that the flowers have finally started to bloom. I can see little buds around the plant, but here is the biggest one so far!
Also, radish leaves are so thick and green. I wonder if you could have a salad with their leaves, haha.

Getting much taller






Ahh I haven't checked in in awhile. They've gotten big since, I had to add another chopstick to each pot to support the peas. XD

Wish I had a braided wire thing on my wall..

Preparing evacuation from the escape pod




The new homeland! A pot.

Peas and Radishes update





I'm finally getting a pot for those peas at the middle left, yessssssss. They're currently hanging over because I don't want them tangled before I put them into a bigger pot. For the other peas, I added a stake. It looks so much neater and more organized now.
Charles Christopher and friends are lounging around with their recent axillary growth. :)

I'm considering on adding ginger or potato to the collection hahaha. I do plan on growing tomatoes soon!

Bamboo update

We cut the tip of that yellowing stem off. It's growing on its own now.
See? Itty bitty roots~ :D
Roots of the bigger piece that was cut off the stem.


Yeah it ended up being cut up. I actually didn't know that lucky bamboo reproduces asexually. No wonder it's good to keep (if you have a bunch of them) separate..

I'm a bit confused. My mom grows her lucky bamboo with just water and gravel in full sun. Hers are super lush and green. Everywhere I look online says not to do that, but why? And yeah, hers IS lucky bamboo, not real bamboo.

Oh well.

In just two days





I want popcorn now! D:

HAHA I was right





From left to right: peas, corn, peas, radishes. The popcorn kernels DID grow. :D Yaaaay. Well, only three out of four, but even one is enough, really.
The plants are all hugging each other. It's already time to go get prop sticks.

I just thought that it was funny; this is the first time I've ever uploaded photos from during daytime.
