Follow up on Newspaper Seed Pots

In this previous post I was looking at newspaper seed pots and sewing some seeds in them which seems to have on the whole worked to varying degrees of success. The Chard, Cabbage and Brussels Sprouts seem to have come up ok ... however I've had less luck with the Sweet Pepper (Spanish Mixed) the pots don't seem to offer much in the way of drainage which I think has been the downfall of the Lettuce and the germination of the Peppers.  Reading around a few people have said that the ink used in the newspaper printing can have a damaging effect of the plant too.

It was a nice experiment and I might do it again sometime later in the year when they can dry out better but for now I think I'm going to stick the old tetra paks.

Indoor crops budding too soon?

Image
My indoor crops have been growing really well thus far (in normal Tetra Paks with the tops chopped off and drainage holes in the bottom).   An issue (at least I think it's an issue) I seem to be having is that some of the tomatoes and the cucumbers are starting to bud, whilst the crops are still quite small.  I'm still fairly new to this and this maybe what is supposed to happen I'm just not too sure.  Originally I thought that it might be because the house was getting too warm, but I seem to remember that last year my cucumbers had grown quite a bit taller before they had started to bud and they were in the potting shed which during the summer months (I planted them much later last year) would have been much warmer than in the house which rarely exceeds 18C in the evening and during the day the heating is off completely.   My concern is if they're budding too early then this will effect their overall growth as they will put more energy in to flowering ...

Kitchen Hanging Garden

Image
A few weeks ago we went to ikea and picked up some stuff for the kitchen including: Two cheap rails A couple of 10 Pack Hooks Different sized hanging containers The aim of the purchases was to create the following: Once the containers were on the wall I decided to have something growing in them, as I haven't got my hydroponic kitchen herb garden set up yet I thought that some salad greens and herbs would be best. Finding a tray to fit inside the hanging container was a bit of a mission impossible so I cut up some of those clear plastic containers that you get fruit in from the supermarket and then glue gunned them back together so that they would be a snug fit, once I did this I spray painted the outside of it black (although I don't think that this step was really necessary).  In the larger container I planted some Chives, Salad Bowl Lettuce and some Mixed Oriental Leafs, hopefully they'll come up well. In the mean t...

Giant Tea Spoon V Tiny Carrots

Image
Well the Carrot harvest the year was an interesting one. I'd steered clear of growing carrots due to stories about carrots pulsating with carrot fly which honestly made me want to vom.  I decided to face my fear and armed with my B&Q Value F1 Carrot packet of 1500 seeds it was time to plant some carrots. Above is the resulting crop from my seeds, I didn't plant too many as I was lacking for space and needed to fit them in-between the Chicory and the Broccoli in the cold frame so I wasn't expecting a bumper harvest.  I wasn't too concerned about the meager quantity because after all it was just a trial...but the size?! Above are the same carrots but this time with a tea spoon next to them...not a table spoon a tea spoon! They did taste great, but I was a little disappointed with how small they were.  I figured that I hadn't prepared the soil enough for them with the soil beneath the cold frame being too compacted. My solution to all of this (...
