When I was in elementary school I have fond memories of setting up a garden with my father and picking green peppers, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries and the like. Granted, I mostly supervised while my father did the vast majority of the work, even though I swore I would pick weeds, water, plant and harvest everything myself because "please please please daddy! All I want in this whole wide world is a garden!"I pretty much just stuck to the harvesting. That's the fun part anyways.
Well, at my school's summer camp, I was teaching an English science class and we learned about plants and seeds and such. All the students got little bean plants to grow at home, and we did some activities comparing seeds to full grown plants. As a result I ended up with about six packs of unused seeds, some planting stuff and one leftover bean plant.
So what did I do? Why naturally I decided I'd get my urban gardening on. I also managed to discover some old planters just sitting under the stairs out on the balcony next to my place. I used one and have planted up some spinach which is just starting to sprout. I've also still got my bean plant, and am working on some four o'clocks (a big decorative trumpet flower that blooms PINK!)
We'll see how this all goes, since it's almost fall. I should have done this earlier I supposed, but I haven't.
Additionally, my boyfriend Jong Hoon is growing watermelon from seeds he spit out from one of the many watermelons his parents bought him and his brother this summer.
In other news, I have internet at my house, and the fall semester officially started today...
I've also decided to try to resume blogging and to make this blog a personal blog about Korea/my life and keep my tumblr to kpop related things.
