Garden ready for

 So the compost arrived

and I was transporting it and drop it over the carton:

40 wheelbarrows here:

leveled it:

and today I started planting, onion, carrots, beans, spinach, rucola, dill, parsley, leak, lettuce and garlic:

what you see in the image above is that wherever I planted, I did that directly in the compost, I then covered with a thin layer of soil.

I also planted this blackberry thing, my son wanted it:

and in the weekend I made some ... we called it langosi, is a kind of simple donut, simple may be but is very tasty:) :

then yesterday went with my wife to this place where are many threes blooming with a lot of  white flowers.

and here we are today, just after I walked my dog:

Status update

 It is ... going

This is cabbage:

yeah, I know, is long, and these are tomatoes in front and cauliflower in the backseat:  

and these 2 : on the right aubergine, on the left peppers:

I also continued with the bread baking, this is my last:

special le French flour monseigneur

\

Today I went with my son and cleaned the garden, forgot to take pictures but I will from now on, I promise.

 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!

Start

 Yesterday I got the mail with the seeds I will use for seedlings:

I already bought last days a tray ready with cups for seedlings and a bag of seed starting mix (

) from Gamma, so I put a part of the pot ground into a carton box and mixed it with

some lukewarm water, then I filled 3/4 of each cup in the tray with it,

and since it has 40 cups I seeded 25 with cabbage

and the rest, 15, with cauliflower seeds,

both types of seed in/at like 1/2 cm depth, put just a bit more of

lukewarm water and put the tray in my attic, high on a cast:

I hope there will be a good spot as it is warm but also some light for later on, I wished it was more but yeah, what can I do.

As you can see I started with cabbage and cauliflower because I plan to seeds it both at the end of February or start of March, if the weather helps like in the last years, if not a bit late and so the seedlings will not grow way to much and start to complain...
