Growing Asparagus From Seed
Update: White Pitcher Plants, Venus Fly Traps
White Pitcher Plant & Venus Fly Traps
Last time I said that I thought I saw 2 white pitcher plants growing, one of them even had a seed attached. Well the one that had a seed attached was actually a Venus Fly Trap. Another plant started growing in the same compartment and a seed started growing in the Venus Fly Trap section. The plant that was growing last week matches the one in the Venus Fly Trap.

Update: Lotus and Pitcher Plants
That grass like thing that I showed a few months prior is still here with no change. However I have noticed something with the other 2 white pitcher plants. I see a little green stem coming out in both compartments, one of them also has a seed attached. I tried to take a picture of them but they are too small. Hopefully in a few weeks they'll be big enough.
As a side note I will be spraying the pitcher plants and Venus fly traps with my homemade fungicide.
Lotus
One lotus plant already has one leaf that has opened completely. The other plant, the leaf is almost completely open. Both plants appear to have second leaves coming in.

Update: Lotus
I have noticed a minor mosquito problem since I started growing the lotuses outside. On top of that, I've noticed a lot of bugs (probably mosquitoes) floating on top of the water. I bought some gold fish and placed them in the bucket with my plants. The bugs in the bucket have gone down so hopefully so will the mosquito problem.

Vegetable Garden
I have a few experiments planned for the tomatoes. I do have several experiments planned for next year for the other vegetables.
I will be showing pictures of my garden though.

Replanting Kiwi Seeds
Last time we scattered a bunch of kiwi seeds over seed starter and they virtually all grew. This time we are using the 12 compartment seed tray again but planting 2 seeds per compartment. The plants will be thinned later on.
Last time it only took 2 weeks for the seeds to grow. Let's see how things go this time.
