when i grow seeds i try to find ways to have a glass house effect so that they are warm and able sprout quickly, without using glad wrap. sometimes i put a big clear plastic tub over which works well. today i ran out of seedling trays so i put some eccinacea seeds in a yoghurt tub. then a rather obvious thought popped into my head, da duh, plastic lid equals the easiest mini glass house ever!!
i also have this old kids pool that got a hole in it. its now going to be a garden bed, im thinking maybe strawberries and borrage? or a herb patch? mm yum! it excites me not only that i can move it between sun and shade, but also its going to be so easy to move it when we move in the future
and just a few pictures of seedlings ive been growing, zucchini
corriander
basil (my favourite)
Looks awesome Karen! So inspiring :-)
ReplyDeleteHey Karen :)Your garden is looking FANTASTIC!!! YAY! I can't wait to see it close up. Lindsay managed to score 35 bales of straw for me for free so im going to put in a no dig garden too shortly. At the moment they are arranged in a big circle down the back and Callum does laps! lol. I love basil too. im a bit of a herb freak myself. i really love rosemary thyme chocolate mint, chives marjoram and oregano. Linds says hi. Can't wait to read your next blog. Take care :)
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that you recycle so much - not only in your garden but in your home as well. You are an inspiration Karen :)
