OMG a touch of spring weather. Had to start something. A new batch of basil micro greens.

And it’s 2024!
Of course I’ve started basil and cilantro under the lights since I have them on anyway.
And I found some “living stone” cacti at the aquarium shop on Gerrard. Could not believe how much they grew just from watering, so I potted them on today and will stop watering to let them settle in for a bit.
Happy gardening!
The first of many
First tomato
Turns out Dawn is a Don
Garlic is looking amazing this year. Lots of hen manure and pretty regular moisture
Cucumbers are coming along slowly
The culinary herbs on the balcony
First bud break of 2023
The first buds are breaking on the hazelnuts. The catkins are still nice and tight. Started some basil seeds on Jan 5. Just had to start something!
It’s been a very mild and grey winter so far. Temps hovering around 0 with a fair amount of rain and lots of fog. The azaleas are loving it.
Easy indoor herb gardening
Ha, I say.
Started genovese basil and Italian parsley today – for winter eating or so I thought. Now that I’ve read the pack – parsley takes 78 days to mature. April, here we come.
Oh, started a celery root. All the rage. Under the lights it is really taking off.
Brita filters have active charcoal and something like pumice in them which make a great starting medium. Watch your fingers!
