Phaedra's 2025 Journey

[Phaedra]

Homemade bread, homegrown microgreen, and the precious eggs in the winter months - luxrious

The leftover (roots, seed skin) and some sprouts were made into omlette and given to our hens for an afternoon treat - their fair share.

Growing microgreens is such a pleasant activity in cold months, do you also grow some?

No I have never grown micro greens. They look tasty.

Will I see you again?

Last week, I spent 9 Euros and bought two 30%-off bouquets from Aldi and arranged them.

They are lovely, but my intention is something else. See, such a beauty. At least 4.5 Euros spent is for getting a chance to see her again.

Three different mums in this bouquets are all lovely.

The roses are also lovely, so why not?

One for roses

The other for Mums

This year, I didn't bring any transplanted mums back to greenhouse and just left them outdoors. It is too much work to dig them out and repot them, besides, some did survive last winter and sent new shoot when spring comes.

Other potted mums that rescued from discounters - they are usually packed in small pots and sold as multi-color mums in late autumn. After bringing them home, I separated them again and let them stay in individual planters. It's frozen outside, so they stay in the unheated greenhouse.

The last-year stems and flowers were mostly removed, and some already have new shoots from the base.

Also my first trial on Amaryllis 'Happy Nymph'

No I have never grown micro greens. They look tasty.

They are and can be harvested about 7 days, can be a fun activity to try.

I have, if the pea shoots I've grown under LED lights count. I was just thinking about starting a batch this year. Do your hens provide you with some eggs even in the winter months?
