March Garden update - seedlings
Well this will just be a short one but i wanted to share with you where I'm at, ill be doing another update next week and ill add in all the other bits from the garden that aren't in this post.
My time at home is limited and one thing i was concerned about was falling behind on getting the plants ready for the greenhouse once the weather has warmed up.
Thankfully having this little grow lamp in the cupboard is worth its weight in gold and i now have the opposite problem.
Im running out of space....
Ooo and just to say the black stuff is adhesive i'm yet to remove not mould, looks horrible but is perfectly safe.
Its all about the grow
These plants are growing fast and will need to be potted up again soon... its a mixture of sweet peppers and hot and i cant wait to eat them!
I was worried that this low powered LED grow lamp would cause them to become Leggy due to lack of light. Thankfully this hasn't proven to be an issue and the plants have remained stout but are putting on good growth in both the stems and leaf count.
Both my Spacemaster (cucumber) and Cucamelon seedlings have germinated well and should be looking good by the next up date.
The dilemma
I've also got around 40+ tomatoe seedlings that need to get in on the LED action asap so i need to start thinking about what i want to move around.
Problem is my wife will suddenly release how many plants i have and will not be impressed once every sunlit surface has pots lined up as far as the eye can see.
So you wonderful lot any idea's how to hide 100+ plants in a tiny house 😂

Have you ever seen the Mr Bean episode when he hides the raw meat under the plate, everywhere he can? I can see that with you hiding plants from the missus.
So exciting... your harvest is gonna be amazing this year!!!

Ha thats hilarious! ill try it... i hope so the thought of sitting in the garden with a bumper harvest growing is keeping me going
hahaha, what a wonderful problem! Now i totally want a closet like that! looks amazing 🤤! I guess the only solution is hypnotizing her into seeing the sheer beauty of all those baby plants! 😂

great idea @frejafri off to learn, ill have to hypnotise her to do the weeding to!
This is how I get 1500 plants in my smallish house....
Planned so they can head to the cold frames as soon as it is warm enough.....
That to me is a thing of beauty @goldenoakfarm but i think that would be the final straw for the wife and would result in divorce if i did it 😂
LOL My husband doesn't like he can't see out the window for a couple months, but then he has 10 other months he can. I guess he thinks it's a lesser evil, at least he's escaped having to build me a greenhouse for decades.... :))
