Hey guys! So I'm thinking of starting a 'Plant Project' series on this blog, as gardening is one of my favourite things to do. What I want to focus on in this series is tips when growing vegetables and fruits (maybe some flower ones). There will be many 'How to' posts on some plants and what I like to use and grow.

You'll need:
-  1 clear plastic cup
-  some soil, doesn't have to be seed raising mix
-  seeds of your choice. (mustard seeds)
-  water
-  a sunny place that isn't too cold

I want to start this off with a fairly simple post. I want to introduce this series by giving you a little insight on seedling growing and a little project you can try out at home for some fun and the satisfaction of when the plant starts growing and maturing.

In the picture above you can see i have put some soil in a plastic cup that I bought a pack of at the supermarket, as well as the seeds i used for this. I bought some yellow mustard seeds you can find in the herb section. I chose this as it is very easy to grow and it germinates fast. I did this project together with my little sister to teach her a little about growing plants.

As you can see that all the seedings are tending to grow to one side, this is because they were standing on my window shelf and plants naturally grow towards the light source.

For my seedlings it is time to take them out and plant them in the garden if I want to grow a mustard plant that will produce the herb and give me a possibility to try make my own mustard if I wanted to.

Tips:
-  Try keep the soil moist
-  Don't overwater (there shouldn't be more than 5mm of water collected at the bottom as this can          
   cause the roots to rot)
-  Keep in a sunny and warm place (preferably no outside, only if its warm)


Your seedlings should come out of the soil in about 2-5 days when using yellow mustard seeds.

Leave a comment down below if you think i should continue this series and some things you would like me to talk about e.g  ( growing succulents / cactuses, specific vegetables or fruits )

Thank you for reading! Much love.
