 OK, this is it


No really, if this time I get the same leggy ones I quit trying to get seedlings myself and will buy them directly.


Because indeed the last batch had same problem, got 2 long earning for more sun.

That was again with cabbage and cauliflower.

So now I got some boxes, each one with its own light, and I go for all the ones I want to first raise from seed indoor:

tomatoes, eggplant, peppers and of course cauliflower and cabbage :)

Check this out:



I got them covered until its germinate and come out.

After that I will put them growing lights, for most of the time.

Let see, again :D

Other than that I started with baking, yeah, this is my first bread made this Sunday:



Yeah maybe it looks weird but tasted very good




And today,



baguettes

I don't have 2 much space in my oven so made them smaller but I still had to bend them a bit, not like Beckham...

very good taste, believe me


On yet another front, spring is here, fucking finally:

(another) and last try

    Yeap, indeed, second attempt failed as well.

    I will try one last time to have the cabbage and cauliflower seedlings brought into this world.

    Check out my process and new location:

So I got these big cups from Action, less than 2 euros for 10 of them, also from the very same Action got some marbles and added one per cup, then for each one marbled up cup I have a pair that I put some holes in it's bottom and filled it with pot soil.



As you can, maybe, see I put the ones filled with the potted earth, and seeds ;), into the ones that have the marble on the base.





and then positioned it strategically in the main room's windowsill.





Curios next what what

Disaster, kindda

 So after 4 days the seedlings were like:


And after a few more days they got longer, but too long and didn't stop longing for the light so I bought a (cheap) grow light:


but I guess was too late, so today I threw them in my backyard 


and started anew:



this time with only 10 pots of cabbage and 5 of cauliflower, cause I was reading and realized that my previous attempt was not actually feasibly for a family as mine of 3-4 people to eat so much as it would have been harvested from it, unless you give the stuff away or put it to pickle.

I also bought some beneficial flowers plus Rucola (arugula) seeds, I went in my lunch break at the flower market in Amsterdam, I was also looking for spinach but could not find that time.




Lets hope now it will grow stronger seedlings  this time!
