2015

When we started on this journey in March 2015, it was just one nondescript table by a sunny window in a bedroom.

Then two tables started filling up with plants as we gained confidence in gardening.

Papaya, lychee, and any seed that stroke our curiosity were tried.

We saw how donut peaches start their journey as well!

However strawberries were our favorite and thus, we grew many, many strawberries.

From cups, strawberries moved to bigger pots and when we ran out of space, we started to DIY hanging ones from PET bottles.

2016

We continue to fill our home with unique cold zone varieties.

As we gained more experience growing them, we challenged ourselves to grow  more challenging plants.

This year we attempted very cold seasoned White strawberries for the first time.

They are reportedly tastier and sweeter than common red Alpine garden varieties.

Began teaching strawberries workshops in schools and private sessions at home for adults.

These plants were grown for students to bring home after every gardening session.

    1. Hi Shara,

      When there is no haze, our windows are mostly open to enjoy the breeze. We are growing in our bedrooms where there is good morning sun, else there is not much sun in this apartment. Strawberries love and need sun to bear fruits, otherwise they are just plants, no fruits if no sun. Re outdoors, we only tried from October last year, when the weather here is not too hot. They survived haze and thunderstorms but its more work than indoors as we need to cool the pots with more ice bottles etc. In addition, outdoor has more pests problems.

  1. I love to grow strawberries too. May I drop by to pay you a visit so I can learn more about tropical growing of strawberries?
