Our Little Farm. Day 1.

Day 1.

Goodbye UGLY orchid!!
It looks more tidy now.
Plan A: We want to plant tulip, but it seems too trouble. Give up.
Plan B: We decided to plant some herbs, fruit, vege and flowers. 1/3 part is for herbs, 1/3 part is for fruit and vege, and 1/3 part is for flowers. Wow~ should be so pretty. Our ideal garden. Just ideal. Haha~

Soil improver and fertilizer for the soil.
 
After mixed all fertilizer and soil improver, our little land is ready for plant. =)
