Well… it was a gorgeous spring day!
I was dying to get in and plant some seeds!
Got my stuff… some cheap potting mix to be mixed with the mushroom compost… 50-50 and thought I might try growing some seeds in egg cartons since its all over pinterest and trendy sites haha
Actually most of the egg container seeds I am going to aim to be selling out the front so its all my excess stuff
Glad I sorted all my seeds the other night. Made it a lot easier today to get into it.
My little cos lettuce seeds!
This is my start in totally overdoing quantities of butternut pumpkins!
I also have put some in pots to hopefully sell out front
I will direct sow my snow peas, but I also have some in egg cartons for the front.
I also have enough celery seeds to last until – well – forever!
I am going to need more table space! I have started putting pots on the ledges. I will have to tame the passionfruit to get more space. (Or just give in to it and build a second hothouse haha)
So… from memory I think I have planted today: Cos lettuce, celery, snow peas, butternut pumpkins, capsicum and some alyssum. (Flowers)
Somehow the potted silverbeet (chard) in the hothouse is still producing since I planted them as seedlings and never quite got them out of their small pots!!! The chooks enjoy it very much (I am not a fan)(I just like growing it!)
And we are still getting plenty of eggs!
I picked a capsicum… I ate half of it at dinner… not bad, slightly bitter but not too bad overall. (My fault… I haven’t watered the plants in the hothouse so regularly.)
I even found another couple of asparagus spears! Yum. They didn’t even get close to the house!
Hope your Sunday was/is fabulous!
Cheers
