The Green Has Returned

Onions, celeriac and perennial flowers for now, and that's all k got the lights for until more arrive. But I'm waiting for 24 000 lumen worth of Leds in about a week, so soon!! More plants!!

Greenhouse is mostly done! Aside from paint and a few details. Frist came so didn't get to give the whole thing one coat, but I'll do that as soon as the temperature stays decent. Inside there's still quite a but of work to do, but hopefully I'll get it all done in reasonable time for growing season!

Garden is growing!

I'm going for a more organic design than the straight lines on my growveg plan. The veggies will also be mixed, the only system will be one kind of brassica per bed (if they look similar as young plants). Hoping it'll work, but still a lot to do!

There's irises, gladioli, Salvia, and all kinds of goodies!

More seeds sown! Rou d two of a few of those that died, and some new ones, all of them perennial flowers. Aquilegia, Poppy, delphiniums, etc. I love the tall flowers!

The plants are doing well! I like the size of most of them, seems nice and compact. The brassica I gueeeeess could be smaller, and yeah, I got eager and sowed them too early, but they're not too bad! The room is around 15°C with lots of light, but almost all the lights are regular LEDs you can get at any hardware store. All I go after is lumen and Kelvin, the higher the better for lumen, and kelvin around 4-6K.cold light in other words.

I really like the soil blockers! Sure, takes a little time getting the mix right so the blocks stay together, but so easy! All I need are trays which I get either cheap at Ikea (the shoe trays) or the baskets that mushrooms come in to the stores, and they're just happy that I take them off their hands! And repotting is so easy! Make the block, pop the smaller block in, and done! Will be interesting to see how the seedling do when I plant them out. The blocks supposedly limit the transplant shock, so I might do some experimenting a bit later, see the difference between regular plug tray seedling and soil block seedlings. Either way it's less plastic I need!

I still got things to harvest, but the season's brussel sprouts has been lost unfortunately. Oh well, it happens. And next season I'll have a brand new garden to play with! Gonna need a literal ton or five of compost, but that's part of the fun! My very own garden!

Overall, very happy!

Aaaand of course! Things go out. Other stuff goes in!

I looove my garden!

A bit of spices too. A small sage leaf, a few peppercorns and some whole cloves in each.
