After having success with seed starting in the past, I’m back at it this year with new varieties. I’m starting my garden with a fresh batch of seeds that I hope will thrive in both my balcony garden and our garden at the house. Growing plants from seed has been such a rewarding experience, and I can’t wait to see how these new varieties grow!
Here’s the new lineup of seeds I’m working with:

Reflecting on My Previous Garden Adventures
In earlier posts, I shared how I first began starting my garden from seed. In February, I planted Bush Tomato “Balcony” and Chilli Pepper “Koral,” and by mid-March, those seedlings were starting to thrive. I even introduced some flowers like Callistephus chinensis after a fun surprise from my daughter.
The last few weeks have been all about watching those early seeds grow strong. As the tomato and pepper seedlings grew, I carefully transplanted them into larger pots. Fertilizing and ensuring they had enough space to expand were crucial steps, and I documented everything in my gardening journal, just as I promised!
My New Planting Plan
For this batch of seeds, I’ve followed a similar planting plan, making sure everything gets a good head start:
- March 25: Planted the new batch of seeds, including oregano, purple coneflower, Brussels sprouts, squash, zucchini, and pepper.
- April to May: Transplanting seedlings into larger containers once they are strong enough and the weather warms up.
Tracking each step with my trusty Google Sheets gardening journal has been invaluable. By documenting planting dates, germination rates, and the plants’ progress, I can ensure a better harvest next season.
Looking Forward to a Thriving Garden
Whether you’re following my journey from the beginning or just catching up now, I hope my experiences with starting my garden from seed provide inspiration for your own gardening adventures. I’ll continue updating you on the progress of my seedlings and the plants that I’m nurturing for a fruitful harvest.
