Day 24 of My Pechay: Growing Better Where the Sunlight Is

‎Some growers say that pechay is ready for harvest by Day 25.
‎
‎But here I am on Day 24, still transferring mine. 🫣
‎
‎Sadly, not all of my pechay grew well.
‎
‎The ones I planted directly on the ground didn't receive enough sunlight.
‎
‎So, they remained small and struggled to grow.
‎

‎Pechay truly needs enough sunlight to thrive, and I learned that the hard way.
‎
‎Anyway, a few days ago, my hubby found some used plastic containers.
‎

‎Instead of throwing them away, we transform them into planters.
‎
‎He cut them using a grinder, to be able to fill soil with them later.
‎

‎Each container was slowly trimmed.
‎
‎He also created a waterway at the bottom of each container.
‎
‎It's like a drainage hole so excess water could escape.
‎
‎You know, too much water can be just as harmful as too little.
‎
‎One by one, we filled them with soil, to be ready for planting.
‎

‎Then, instead of giving up on the pechay on the ground, I transferred it into our recycled containers and brought it upstairs where the sunlight is better. ☀️
‎

‎I'm giving them another chance, a better spot, better light, and hopefully, because of that, they grow better.
‎
‎So yeah, my pechay is not ready for harvest on Day 25.
‎
‎But, they're not done growing either.
‎
‎And that's what matters.
‎
‎Anyway, let me show you the biggest one out of all of them.
‎

‎This one truly embraced the sunlight upstairs which is why it stretched its leaves wide.
‎
‎Can you notice the difference?
‎

‎Truly leaves become broader and greener once they are placed where they are meant to grow.
‎
‎It amazes me how much sunlight can change everything.
‎
‎So, if you're not growing, you know what to do?
‎
‎Go outside and feel the heat of the sun! 🤣
‎
‎Stop complaining as sunlight solves more problems than overthinking. HAHA
‎
‎Until my next progress...
‎
‎Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 💗🌸
