Growing Nyokkis

Wow...look how much Froggie and Chickee have grown! And this picture was taken last week. Truly behind on blogging here. I can't believe how fast the Nyokkis are growing! You will notice that the Eggling is sadly absent from the picture. The last heatwave made my front room such a sundrenched sauna that the eggling almost died! I knew something like that would happen! I rushed it to a shadier darker room in the apartment and gave it lots of water and love and urged it to live and thank goodness...it did. It's resusitated and is slowly growing again.
But here are the smiling Nyokkis. I've since moved the Nyokkis to the darker room since they were starting to look a little fried too. That front room just gets so much sun! I'll post another progress pic soon to include the Eggling.

Egglings and Nyokkis

Well, I've gone ahead and done it! After ooohing and aaahing over Carol R's eggling and eagerly watching its growth process, I've gone ahead and bought my own plus a couple of little buddies to keep it company. I decided on the basil eggling in the hopes that having fresh basil handy will inspire me to cook. That's a complete and utter laugh since 1.) I can barely keep plants alive and 2.) I cook at most two times a year. But we'll see. Hopefully I won't kill it and I will be inspired. While looking at the website to find out how to order the precious eggling, I saw the Nyokkis and they are too cute to pass up! They are grass plants and once the grass (aka hair) grows in, you can style it. How cool! so I bought the froggie and the chickie. Here they are in a row. Don't they look too cute?!
I took the picture above a couple of days ago and already I can see little bits of grass and buds of basil growing. So fast! But then, my apartment is very warm and I think it's conducive to them growing provided I remember to water them. I'll post progress snaps once the plants really start to noticeably grow.
