I stayed in the greenhouse for several hours today. Although I don't want to keep too many plants inside it in the cold months, there are onion, shallot, ginger, geraniums, asparagus, sage, and many daughter plants I propagated from our indoor plants - and they need some attention.
So, let's get things done.
About 140 onion and 50 shallot seedlings were transplanted into 5cm mini pots. As they won't grow much, 5cm pot should be good enough to accommodate them in the winter months. I might send them to the hoop tunnel next week.
My lovely spider plants! They were so tiny when I removed them from the flower stems, and now, it looks like each of them develops two legs (and want to run away?)!
I am trying to arrange mixed pots of them.
Great to see them doing well, even in the unheated greenhouse.
Wild strawberry - 24 young plants divided from 1 huge clump - all survive and develop decent roots in 5cm pots. I decided to replant them in the deep trays and let them stay under cover.
It's the similar concept like soil blocks, just without gaps. They are not fragile plants and won't grow much during winter. Next spring, I will 'divide' them again to the permanent growing location.
My azalea bonsai trees, they are just in the mood of blossoming, regardless of the bad weather outside, right?
One of our hens - she is either blind or with very very poor eyesight since summer. The roofed and well protected run also gave her a much safer environment. She knows where to find water and food, how to use the ladder to the coop, and the other hens growing up with her behave nice, too. DH and I usually stayed with her for breakfast until she decided to leave the food. It's a bit sad, of course, but life tends to find its way. She learns to be away from unnecessary troubles or being a trouble.
She earns my respect, and I'd love to be her support, too.
All the dried herbs I didn't consume from last year joined the materials I will use for making herb pillows. The new ones harvested this year are waiting for me.
Steamed bun with scallion omelet and sausage, coffee - so nice for a cold day
