I bought some silver beet and broccoli seedlings in punnets from the
Kensington Garden Center and planted them in my plot at Farnham Street
last Monday. I had leftover seedlings to give away but I ran out of
plastic pots and was too impatient to start making paper pots; besides I
was standing in the rain so I looked about for the nearest
receptacles-discarded take-away coffee cups. I punched some drainage
holes in their bottoms, filled them with home-made potting mix and
watered in with some added seaweed emulsion. The seedlings have already
started to put on growth in just 48 hours! The little cauliflower on the
right was rescued from my plot after being eaten by a snail but even it
is has grown a bit. I think I might have found the perfect seedling
pot. This blog post must seem very ordinary compared with arriving in New
York for the first time. I hope you have somewhere safe to pitch your tent tonight.
So nice to see seedlings sprouting, we are so lucky to be able to grow through the cooler months, it is a blank slate here at the end of winter. Beautiful days here in nyc, staying at an airbnb, seeing stephan tomorrow.
