About to pull the order on some fun new seeds from Richter's ... now to start reverse engineering timelines of germination and creating planting schedules!
oh nice, i'm gonna place another seed order from richter's soon, too, actually. i already got one order in from baker creek (rareseeds.com) in the US.
these are LED lights we built on kitchen shelves. they're just bridgelux strips with some meanwell drivers. so much cheaper than buying any commercial "grow light" once you get to a certain point. i posted this...elsewhere...:
these are the same strips, just 2x four foot strips to make eight feet per shelf (these shelves are in the kitchen/dining area) instead of doubling up on 2- or 3-foot strips as in the case of the shelves in the bird room/SO's office (where the strawberries are). you can't see them but there's a bunch of orchids overwintering below the strawberries, lol.
incidentally those strawberries are from a clamshell of the greenhouse strawberries i picked up at valumart. i thought one tasted really exceptionally good so i saved the tip of the strawberry to grow the next year. it didn't bloom all summer in the garden, just threw out a bunch of runners, but over the winter it obviously decided it was ready.
planning on growing anything interesting this year?
