Sadly, out of the 4 tomato shoots that sprouted from seeds, only 1 is left standing. The others wu yan wu gu just died, even though all were given the same treatment.

I've since made a sort of cage using plastic mesh to protect the plant ...it looks quite ridiculous! I'll try to post some pic on the weekend.
Jia yu, jia yu!

Here's my catnip shoots, said to be from the mint family. I guess they're called catnip because some cats go crazy over them - their reaction to catnip is akin to having engaged in substance abuse.

There's also the ressurrected dumb cane - a very hardy and resilient plant, definitely "idiot-proof".

ya....i forgot to water them....(idiot proof meh?? wah, i better make sure they don't die in my hands.. .) the plant sort of shrink and bend towards the soil....(looks so flatten) and after i splash some water on them...in a while, they spring up and once again as lively as can be.....

i will go google to see wat the adult catnip looks like.....cos this babies u have look like the one the nanny had given me (died le) which according to her is 'Ribena' ...
by the way, the plant in front, their roots is some kind of chinese herbs....its white and small, shape like sweet potatoes.... -
I think it's not easy to find a pic of a full-grown cat nip on the net...you probably end up with a lot of cat-related stuff.Originally posted by a_splash:same...

Ya, dumb cane is idiot proof, can almost died, remove one big chunk, and still resurrect. Yours looks greener and healthy....which means your soil is good. Mine is recycled soiled and not nutritious, unless I add organic (meaning smelly ) fertiliser.
Can your herb be eaten? -
