All gone in one fell swoop?

Last Friday, I planted 6 papaya seeds in different parts of my garden. That was the very first time in life I've ever planted anything.  It rained heavily yesterday and this morning, I thought I should see how my 6 seedlings were doing, particularly when some of my readers wrote positive messages to me about my gardening. 3 of the seeds were planted just at the side of my house. I could locate these but I could find the other 3.

It took me a long time before I found all of them. I can't really be certain I got the right spots. 

If you see the photo appearing at the head of my blog post, as in this instance,  it means I posted it from my phone through the email mode. The formatting is one major issue when I post this way but it's extremely convenient for me.

    1. That's true. It makes sense not to wear anything. The perspiration just evaporates as it's meant to. But I usually wear boots - I've been bitten by huge ants when I walk about barefoot.

  2. It is the best to do it naked right and you have a better feeling for the nature, but barefoot is too dangerous I think

    1. Yes, I agree. When my grass was very long, I didn't dare to go round barefoot for fear of snakes. But it's a lot safer now. At the most, I might get bitten by ants.

    1. Hi
      Yes if it germinates and grows into a tree, that's good. For the three that I am able to locate, I pee on them every day. I was told that pee was good for the seedlings. But the other three that I had so much difficulty locating, I am leaving them alone because they are a bit of a distance away. Let's see how soon the first tree grows, if at all. LOL
