Hello hello,
Garden update a bit today!
I tried something new in the garden that involves making a thick cornstarch slurry, coolng it complelty and mixing the seeds in.
Take the mix, put it in a piping bag and use the slurry to make even rows of seed.
I did this with carrots, radish and lettuce.
The radish and the carrots are starting to have some sprout pops! :D. (Radish above, carrot below)
The transplanted (bush variety) beans.
Mixed among them seen sprouting, is sunflowers 🌻
The sunflowers popped way sooner than I was expecting and I cannot wait to see their sunny faces :D
As well we got a lil grid set up for the suprise pumpkin plant.
Other lil doings~
I am attempting to make a jacket :)
Got most my base peices cut out (some mild trim work necessary on the cuffs and bottom stretch bit), got to get the inner liner cut out and a zipper gotten
The inner liner I'm going to try and use an old bedsheet that's a soft blue.
The girls are laying pretty good, so far we've gotten 3 flats total :D. With luck we will continue with plentiful flats (and we can started elaminating eggs purchases when I grocer shop 🥳)
And last but not least, a lil seed start update!
Eggplants, these seeds are around 9ish? Years old. I kept them in not ideal seed saving storage but they've suprised me so far with how resilient they've been. I hope we get a few good ones for seed saving.
Broccoli or cabbage (they both look the same at this stage) I'll be transplanting them soon so as to not get them too spindly.
Nasturtium. There will probably be ground planted at the same time as the broccoli.
That's it for now everyone :) I'm off to work on a breakfast cassarole before I get to work on either cutting some boards for another raised bed, working on the above pictured jacket or possibly collect up some more sweet potatoe leaves to blanch and tuck in the freezer for later.
🌻🌱 Happy Homesteading 🌱🌻
