Experiments

Ginger! A celebrity chef on TV claimed that if you buy some ginger at the supermarket and plant it deep in a pot it'll grow (in the UK). Got some, planted it. Lets see if it'll work.

Also planted Orangeberry plant (Rubus Pentalobus) in the back by the blackcurrents. The hope is that they'll take over the bank and strengthen it. Strawberries om the same bank that were planted last year are doing well. Sunset Strawberries were going at the price of 6 for $12 at the warehouse. There are now 3 of those plants on the same bank. What happens if white and red strawberries cross over? Dunno yet.

Happenings

Stuff has been happening but no time to blog.

Onions have gone into the vege patch a week ago as did a zucchini - which appears to be suffering already. Found some Cheddar Cauliflowers at the warehouse and got then into the patch too.

Into pots in the green room went miniwhite cauliflowers, zucchini, and riesentrabe tomato. All appear to be doing well.

Germination

The seeds in the germination chamber have done so, and the squash in tops have germinated too. That is...

Squash
Tomato (both types)
Strawberry Spinach
Thyme

but the Coriander has not!

Three zucchini were potted into a large pot in the sun room.

Also planted some carrots, but using old seeds from two and three years ago. Instead of measuring the gaps between them and so on, there were just sprinkled over the surface of the vege patch and covered with a light dusting of soil. As it has been dry the vege patch also got a good watering.
