🌱 [Post-work joy] The story of how the moment the seeds sprouted made me happier than I imagined

🟡 The reason why coming home every day is "something to look forward to"

One of the things I look forward to when I get home every day is
👉 watching the growth of the vegetables I sowed seeds for a while ago .

Honestly, at first, I felt pretty casual about it, thinking, "Will these even grow?"

But—

🌱 It finally happened, this moment

After getting home as usual, I checked on them casually.

And then...

👉 They had sprouted🌱😳

In this moment, my excitement was higher than I imagined.

I felt like, "They're actually alive..."

🥬 What I'm growing this time

This time, it's

• Komatsuna

• Baby leaf

These two.

👉 Hydroponics using only water

In other words,
I'm not even using soil.

🌿 Shiso leaves are growing via a different route

Also, one more thing.

👉 Shiso leaves🌱

I've been growing these for a while, but

clearly

👉 they have become bushier than before

It's great that the growth is "visible."

And for the shiso leaves

👉 I'm using liquid fertilizer

Maybe that's where the difference is coming from.

🍣 It's fun to imagine the future where I eat them

If anything, I

👉 prefer seafood

so,

• sashimi + shiso leaves

• seafood bowl + shiso leaves

I definitely want to do these kinds of things.

Furthermore

👉 White miso × chopped shiso leaves

This is also bound to be delicious.

It's a simple yet perfect combination.

🤔 To be honest...

I still

👉 don't know if they will grow to an edible size

That's the realistic part.

But on the other hand

👉 it's interesting because you don't know what the result will be

🔥 Summary

• I have one more thing to look forward to after getting home

• Even small changes bring a high sense of satisfaction

• Seeds really do sprout even with hydroponics

• It's fun to imagine the future of eating them

And above all

👉 the experience of "watching them grow" itself is valuable

▶️ Future

I want to

👉 see if they will grow to an edible size

and continue to watch over them
