As like last year, everything was ordered from Fedco. We have a lot of pole bean seeds I saved from the plants we grew (we have about 3 oz produced from an order of 0.5 oz), along with quite a few radish seeds and morning glory seeds.
We’re attempting to expand our gardening this year. We applied for a spot in the local community garden (there is a lottery system), and will also be continuing the container garden. There’s a lot of non-edible plants in our order as we hope to have a bit more spare room if we get the plot.
We gave away the few fish left in our aquarium and cleaned it out. We’ll try to use it as a terrarium for starting seeds (We’re not planning on buying any transplants from the nursery this year, although we’ll still have it as a backup). To give it more light, we moved the empty tank near a southern window. We will use the aquarium fluorescent tube for supplemental light, along with two shorter tubes I put in an old blacklight fixture. The light meter indicates that the light levels from the artificial lighting are nowhere near that of sunlight, but they should help extend growth in the evenings. The main aquarium tube has a “daylight” spectrum, and the two tubes we bought for the other fixtures are “daylight” and “aquarium/plant” (I didn’t really know which would be better, so I decided to diversify). We also got the Burpee Ultimate Seed Starting System, which uses a wicking system to keep the seedlings moist. We’re still looking for a temperature-controlled seed mat as tomato seeds need a lot of warmth when germinating.
