Most of our windows are north facing, which is good for not heating up the house in the summer, but not so good for growing green onions in the winter. So to boost the light level, I purchased some LED grow lights strips and installed them under my cupboard in the kitchen.
I put a new batch of roots in the test tubes and they like the new light! The picture shows about a week of growth. Now the previous batch made it through three harvests before petering out, we’ll see if these keep going.
I found four little pots of flesh colored slime on our table, lined up in a neat little row. Felt a bit like the intro for a Dr Who episode. Turns out my youngest mixed up all her slime colors and redistributed them in the original pots. That doesn’t really diminish the chill factor, does it? On that note,
Happy New Year’s Eve!
I’m old, so I’ll be going to bed, but the rest of you crazy kids be safe. See you on the other side.
I needed a small hanging pot for a fern and found an old canning jar in my cupboard and some chain in a drawer. Viola! A pretty way to reuse an old canning jar! I used some steel wire to attach the chain to the lid hardware on the jar.
Having the lid hang down threw off the balance of the pot, so I wired it up onto the chain. The fern is now in a north facing window, so gets light, but not full sun. We’ll see how it does!
Not that it has been warm here, but my paperwhites (Narcissus) bloomed outside on Christmas day.
And just to balance, the dandelions are also blooming.
