Indoor Garden

Winter 2017 Indoor Soil Garden, Day 6

Standard

 

Today I lightly watered all of the plants and put the miniature red potatoes on the top rack so that they can start rooting.  Once they start rooting, I will begin a potato bucket. I have never done this before so it will be an experience for sure!

I will be doing this for both miniature red potatoes and russet potatoes.

The turnip and kohlrabi are flourishing!

I thinned out the sprouts today.

The beets have decided to make an appearance, right on time (germination time between 5 to 10 days) and are doing very well.  I thinned them out.

The Buttercrunch lettuce finally made an appearance!  Right on time as well (germination time between 5 to 10 days).20170318_140301

 

The Rapini (or) Raab Broccoli is doing very well, especially for being early!  I thinned it out.

The Winter 2017 Indoor Soil Garden’s Genesis

Standard

I began my soil garden on March 11.

It was completely on a whim.  I was in HTG Supply picking up some stuff for the garden and decided, well, rooted vegetables sound like a great idea.

The thought was as simple as that.

At this point it is too cold to start the outdoor garden so, it made sense.

The soil tent started to take shape and the first seeds were planted on March 11th.  While I was at it, I also purchased a navel orange tree.  I wanted to see how it would do in the tent along with the other items.  The soil I used was the MiracleGro plant soil.

I used regular tap water to water the plants.

This is the final set up of the tent on March 12th.
