Growing Red Onions | Holiday Re-Potting

What's better to do than a little holiday gardening.  I was going to grow my red onion into spring onions.  Well, the pot I had it in was getting a little full.  Decided to re-pot it and try growing them into proper red onion.  I broke one of the sprout, so I'll have a stalk of spring onion, and potted the other 2.  I hope I'll have 2 proper red onions by the next update.

Let me know if you have any question and I'll try to answer best I could ☺

Growing Rosemary Plant | Update - Pruning

A quick update since I need to give my rosemary plants a quick trim.  It has been about 7 weeks since I last potted the rosemary cutting.  They have grown about 2 inches but have been branching extremely slow.  I am totally guessing here, I think the large "spiny" leaves are taking away too much energy of the plants.  Hope it works!  Will update in the next video.

Climate Change | JacksGap

As we head into Christmas week and closing the year, it is a good time to reflect on the issues our planet and communities are facing.  And some of the efforts made on tackling these issues.

It is encouraging and inspirational to see 20-year-olds creating engaging content on climate change to bring more awareness on the issue. 🎥

Growing Onion Indoors | Week 1

Store bought red onion started sprouting about a week ago.  I chucked it in water for about 4 days and seems to be growing well.  Potted into normal garden soil yesterday.  Hopefully I will have some fresh spring onions for a recipe soon.


Will update in a few weeks.  Have a good one.  Cheers!

Travel Asia | National Museum of Singapore

Quick dash to the National Museum of Singapore between appointments.  There is a new Singapore History Gallery definitely worth checking out.  Brought back so many memories of childhood.  Feeling nostalgic and a little melancholia.

Growing Rosemary from Cuttings | Potting - 60 Days - Updates

Day 60,  the cuttings have been rooting very well.  Potting them together since they are still very small.  I have the roots about 2 inches into the soil.



For Soil mix: I'm using normal garden soil, adding espresso grind and I also throw in so chopped cilantro stalks I have laying around.  The espresso grind has been used, it is much less acidic than when fresh.  Added it to all my plants every couples of weeks, seems to not have any issues.  Will add some crush egg shells to the rosemary in a couple of weeks.

I'm going to water them once every 2 days.  Hopefully they will prosper well.  Will update in next video.

Growing Rosemary from Cuttings | 50 Days - Updates


It has been day 50 and rosemary cuttings root system has grown more robust.  Some of the roots started "branching". The stems seemingly turning brown and a bit damp.  Not sure if that's the way should be.  Will have to pot them in the next days.

Overall, rosemary cuttings seem to progress well.  Will see how they do when potted into soil.

Growing Rosemary from Cuttings | 30 Days

Attempting rosemary propagation bought from supermarket.  Started with 3 stems of cuttings, removing most of the spiny leaves, left them in a glass on a sunny spot and changed water daily.



The first week, they were really "droopy" and I thought they were not going to make it.  Then they got better, and on day 16, one stem started rooting.  By day 18, all 3 stems were rooting.  Just letting the roots get stronger before potting them into soil.  Have not decided on the method to pot them yet.

Will update in next videos.
