Lovely little greens. Arugula, Spinach, Romaine and Butter lettuce. No drama, just doing their thing.Perspective. Many ways to do the same thing, many ways to do the same thing differently. Top right is the result of having some rain soaked microgreen seed packs I used for a seed swap. Rather than throw the seeds out I cast them into the rock and up they came. Its funny the contraptions we humans develop for produce mass production.Wild herbs for a fragrant bouquet, nice addition to a house for Valentines day!"Cheer up sleepy greens"🎸🎷🎶🎵 It's been chilly, but tell this to these little guys. I had some rain soaked seed packs, my bad, and throw them in the rock to save them going moldy. Moral to the story, if you create the right conditions you can have an appalling growing technique and still produce plants. These Kale, Chard, Spinach, Arugula, Romaine will now be transplanted throughout the system.Happy Sunday to you! What the heck am I looking at you may well ask? Left is seaweed dumped in the composter then covered with coconut fiber. Right is the grow bed with seedlings.Micros-rising. The plants by the fence are Arugula that escaped the micro-flats. They have cute little flowers. It's always interesting to see the conditions that made this possible, a slight crack, ground cover holding moisture, morning dew dripping down the fence, the sun light on this side and enough protection not to dry out the seedling. Why have they survived so well without being eaten by the wildlife. Zero maintenance the right conditions, can these conditions be duplicated intentionally? Could more plants be seeded on this fence line and survive. Thought follows form nature follows the way.
When are you guys doing a class this year? I have some pals that are interested in learning about aquaponics and growing veggies hydroponically
Please let me know if we can arrange a class!?
Thanks all the best,
