First stint with planting :)

As a child I grew up in company quarters that my dad's company allocated for us. Every quarter had a huge place for garden. I remember as a child picking up a lot of vegetables every other day for our lunches and dinners. My mom planted a lot of vegetables. We had green beans, tomatoes, chilies, spinach, lemon, onions etc. We had plenty of fruits trees as well. So it was natural that when I bought my own home which had a backyard, I was curious to see myself doing a bit of gardening.
I wanted to first try out something small lest I spoil my garden as it stands. So I bought a pot, some potting soil (San Diego soil is really hard and almost nothing will grow there), and some chili seeds. I read the instructions on the seeds packet on how to germinate them. (germinate, hehe, havent used that word in a long time. probably last time I used it was in 10th standard.) It was a fun little project.
I filled the pot with soil, pressed it a bit and made it ready for seeding. Watered it a bit and sowed the seeds about 1 inch into the soil.
Ever since that day, I'd water the pot everyday. In about 2 weeks, the seeds germinated. They are about 2 inch tall now. Once they read 3-4 inches, I will take them out of the pot and put them in the 'fort' I am going to prepare as my next home project :)
