Tragedy and Triumph


Wild winds knocked over the mini outdoor greenhouse in a recent storm.  The tray of broccoli and the tray of kale on the top row weren't so happy. The scene inside the toppled greenhouse was messy and most of the seedlings didn't make it.


 All hope was not lost... A few babies did survive, and more seedlings were waiting in the flats to be transplanted.  A sad reminder that it's always good to sow more than you think you need.




36 cells, 36 broccoli seedlings left. I just love it when those syncronicities happen...

... To shed some light on the situation, some flourescent lighting has been added to improve the growth of the seedlings.  They are definately showing their thanks with lush, dense growth.


I purchased a 60 watt T5 flourescent light for $70 from the local hydroponics store




And the seeds just keep on popping up....
