It's Day 7 of my gardening journey!
Let's take a look at the plants...
Mint Plant
Some of the leaves wilted. I presume that it is due to the lack of sunlight reaching out to all the parts of the plant. I went ahead to pluck out those wilted leaves. The plant emits a strong minty smell and it was quite refreshing. Actually I do not really know what to do with the mint leaves and so I did some research. Being quite lazy at this point of time, I laid my eyes upon doing something really easy- Fresh mint tea. Nothing difficult and since I like tea, it was simple and perfect for me!

Basil Plant: Image
A few shoots have sprouted and their leaves are quite rounded now. Like what the guy at Chatuchak-Bangkok had told me, I would see some shoots in a week. Let us hope all would be well!
Shallot Plant: Image
They are growing quite rapidly. It was the first to sprout among the 3 plants and right now, there are many shoots already. I wonder if this is normal. Leave me a comment if it is not and help me if you can! Thanks!
Parsley Plant: Image
There are only 2 or 3 tiny shoots now. Among the 3 plants, this is the slowest growing one. Cross-fingers that the slower plant growth is not due to the lack of sunlight or water.
I will update the plants' growth again in a week's time! Ciao~!
