Flower / Home Gardening – Dahlia and Vinca

Gardening? Me? No Way!

I’m a girl who was really far far away from gardening. I hate insects, worms, lizards, spiders, pretty much anything in nature.

After I learned flower arrangement early this year, my interest in plants and gardening has grown. I tried a couple of plants in Seoul and in Singapore, as you guessed, every single time I tried, I killed them all.

Unlike myself, my boyfriend has quite some experience in home gardening in Australia, and one day, we were at ‘Home Fix’ and decided to utilize the backdoor area in his apartment by growing herbs and flowers.

Giving a Try…

So, we bought Vinca, Dahlia, Thyme, and Chilli seeds (which seems easy to grow as per instruction) and got some gardening stuff from Daiso. Then, we, sort of, forgot about it or we were procrastinating.

Finally,

2 days ago, we planted Dahlia and Vinca. As you can see, my boyfriend did most of the work while I was just being an assistant and a photographer at the same time.

This time, we didn’t have enough soil so ended up planting only Dahlia and Vinca. This is Dahlia seeds. I thought of the last time that I planted something was when I was in elementary school. Since then, NONE! It was my first time to see Dahlia seeds.

This is the final product! Dahlia on the left basket.

And Vinca on the right basket.

Here is my handsome gardener after his hard work.

Fingers Crossed!

It’s my responsibility to water them regularly and to take care of them. I’m not so confident how well they will grow, but I’ll try my best this time. I’ll give you updates on my gardening progress! Fingers crossed!
