Why am I showing you green onions? Well, I've always dreamed of having my own farm at some point. Maybe just a tiny plot of land to grow some crops, veggies and fruit. I'd like to create my own irrigation system and whatnot. But until that happens, I figured I'd try my hand at it and see if it's something I'd like to do. A couple of months ago, I wanted to try growing my own veggies from kitchen scraps, specifically green onions because that's what I would get extra of. The first pic was my first attempt. I had gotten these cute little buckets from the store, and I didn't know what kind of soil (if it even mattered) to get, so I used soaked paper towels as I remembered it's a good replacement. At first, I had left them in this spot but felt they weren't getting any sun, so I took them to my room and left them by my windowsill. Well, it got too hot, and with the buckets being metal, it would heat up the soaked towels and sort of boil my green onions. They eventually stopped growing and dyed. The second pic is from my current attempt. We had gotten a new plant recently, and I found that under some greenery or whatever it's called, there was soil, and it was fresh and moist. So I stole some lolz. I put some in each of my little buckets and put my two new green onions scraps. This time I kept them outside at the original spot, out of direct sunlight. I think they're growing happily and can't wait to see how it likes towards the end of the month. (The pic is about 3 days old when I took it.) Honestly, seeing them grow has made me happy. With the first attempt, they were growing for a short time but got stunted and died, which kind of got me upset. It's to be expected and there can be different factors affecting the growth. Although it was my first time, I did want them to grow completely so it did frustrate me a bit when they didn't grow. I was also going through a tough time during the first attempt and seeing them die made me cry lolz. I'm definitely in a better place now and don't want to rush the growth of my new green onions. For now, they are happy and growing, which makes me happy. But if anything happens to them, I know I can just learn from my experiences and try again :) Is there anything you'd like to grow or to see grow?
