Urban gardening

Circuit Breaker Day 6: Let's start with mint and basil.

Since I'm cooking more than usual, I decided to take baby steps towards self-sustainability and grow herbs in my balcony. :)

So, I went out today to hunt for mint. Lucky me, I managed to find a small bunch of mint at Kovan wet market. I also picked up basil at Cold Storage. The mint and basil cuttings had no roots, so I've washed them, snipped off some leaves, and submerged 'em in water to grow roots. Roots will appear in 2-3 weeks' time, after which I'd be potting them over in soil.

Assuming my mint and basil grows well, I plan to plant rosemary and chili next. Wish me luck!
