  1. Potted on some cabbage starts that overwintered under my #GrowLights. Just curious to see if they grow or if they just bolt in the end. 🤔 Is EXPERIMENT.

    I also washed/sanitized seed trays and sowed two different kinds of beets, which take a while to germinate and are destined for the #lowtunnel.

    I cant wait for #spring - I'm betting it will be early! 😅

  6. Long shot, but here it goes. I'm looking for good grow lights with white light for plants in my living room, preferably to be used in a classic EU fitting. There's sansi , but that's US based and has to be bought through Amazon in Europe for as far as I could find.

    Anyone tips for good grow lights (not cheap shite that's flooding our online shops) that can be bought without having to go to Amazon?
    boosting for reach appreciated

  7. Dear Friends of winter pansies,

    The robin who guards our garden worms (and probably eats them) helped me plant 8 (thought I had seven) Lidl pansies. Still £1.99 for 10 - so bought 20 again. Bit of colour for autumn onward

    Also found some strawberry mint growing amongst the wild geraniums in this pot before I sequestered it. That is being planted under our indoor grow lights lights.

  8. They always grow really good when you're not ready to plant them out. This is all the squash, cucumbers, and melons. Everything good except one watermelon pot and I put more seed in it tonight in case the half sprouted thing doesn't grow a true leaf. They were all planted about 2 weeks ago.

  9. Tomato progress. So far nice stocky tomatoes since I've been able to keep it cool. The round pots are a mix of my experimental soil that killed all but one of the peppers.. 🤣 and some more recycled soil. The saved Campari seed ones are doing good and might be far enough along to pick a winner. Might pull a few and transplant if I get to it soon. The tomatillo is doing good too.

  10. Tomatoes and tomatillo thinned to one, and the 2024 Gravenstein scion wood rooting attempt had lots of leaf. I put a little rooting hormone in the water but it's old so I've ordered some new. The cuttings are bagged and off to the side so they're not getting full light.

  11. Someone forgot to plant some saved Campari tomato seed so those are 8 days behind the others. Someone also plucked some things and potted them up as extras.

  12. All saved tomato seeds from last year have sprouted up and the tomatillo seeds I gathered from the ground in the garden a month ago are up too. Heat mat turned off. They were started on April 1.

  17. First tomatoes are up, peppers are growing fast, and some new growth on the overwintered Red Marconi sweet pepper that I pruned and fertilized.

  18. Basil is looking good, I've kept a loose cover over it so it's not drying out fast. Peppers are starting to grow fast with roots seen in the smaller pots and the latest transplants in the big pots aren't dying so maybe not over fertilized but we'll see.

  19. The geraniums are greening up slowly after being under the lights for a week. I've turned the lights down some since the lettuce seemed to be suffering as it got taller. The grape cutting from last year that had a verbena I saved in it is growing fast! The saved Red Marconi isn't doing much but I haven't fertilized or pruned it either. Extra details in ALT about tent and LED lights.

  24. The Red Marconi and Jalapeno peppers, or chilies, are getting their first true leaves. The California Wonder 300 are all up 100% from last years bought seed, 100% dud on saved seeds. I'll have to make sure to grow one of them well into a non green color for seeds.

  25. #gardening report: Sowed coleus and leeks, King Richard and Tandorna. Moved the onion sprouts to their own shelf for easier light adjustment as they grow. Sorted all of the existing plant tags. #gyo #GrowFoodFromSeeds #GrowLights

  26. Lettuce getting bigger. Soil temp up to 60F / 16C. The romaine has roots coming out the bottom of the pots, didn't look at the others.

  27. There's a pepper on the 1 year old Red Marconi plant I potted up and have indoors for the winter. Some closeup photos of the lettuce too. February 20, 2025 photos.

  28. I put the lettuce starts in larger pots. Divided the romaine since I had a couple of pots that didn't sprout. The seeds were planted about 3 weeks ago but it's cold in the basement so growing is slow.

  29. Good morning. We have microgreen sprouts! These are Johnny's Spicy Microgreen Mix. Oh, and also a dusting, 2" or so, of fresh snow outside. #gardening #microgreens #GrowLights #snow

  30. Starting Russell Blend #lupine #seeds. They soak for 24 to 48 hours before sowing and growing them inside under #GrowLights for ~ 6 weeks. You know the seed is ready to go into the soil when it swells up to more than twice its original size. #Gardening #GardeningMastodon #Lupines

  31. Pepper seedlings day 9. Three Red Marconi mostly up now.

    I have six 40 watt fluorescent tubes on above the LEDs now for some extra heat so it won't be so cold without the heat pads. Room is cold because it has the cider that's sleeping before it's final ferment kicks in when it warms up.

    Took the heat pad off the hyssop today too, needed it for the 3rd tray of grape cuttings.

  42. Yippee! Finally got around to sowing my 6-pod #Aerogarden #hydroponic #IndoorGarden. Used just three slots for #SaladGreens seeds but plan to add a couple of #herbs next feeding cycle.

    #TIP: Inset your garden in a cardboard box to dim the glow of the fairly bright #GrowLights. #Hydroponics #HydroponicGardening
