Green Bumps
As anyone who is a seed starter in trays knows, seeing those little green bumps as the plants start to sprout is a magic moment. It shows you got it right. Not too much water. Just enough warmth. Etc. And the seeds responded. A very magical moment.
From Eggs to Radish
I sow almost all of my plants in trays as starters. Any time of the year. And I also like to reuse things when I can. So for some seeds I reuse egg containers to start the seeds.
Lettuce Prick Out
This year I am growing my lettuce earlier and my tomato and eggplant later. So I am already pricking out lettuce, while still have not sown any tomatoes.
LED Grow Lights
I have tried various lighting methods over the years. From simple window placement, to different artificial lights. But this is the first year I decided to try LED lights.
February the Winter Witch
February all too often is really unpredictable. And when it gets nasty, it becomes a very cold month here. A real witch to deal with.
Winter Leeks
My leeks are nearly all harvested. But they are still producing even now in January. Despite the cold, and despite the snow.
Gardening Under Snow and Fleece
It is January. It is cold. Temperature was -12°C (10°F) last night. And it has been snowing. The garden looks bleak.
