Winter 2017 Indoor Soil Garden, Day 19

Standard

So, Awesome things have been brewing in the indoor garden!  Here are my update pictures:

Each of the potters have grown so much.  Unfortunately, I am still waiting for my lavender to sprout, but it will soon, I am sure.

The white powder on the top of the potters is diatomaceous earth to keep away the gnats that were in the tent.

 

The left side is yellow onion, the right side is red onion:

The Navel Orange has been accruing new growth.

It dropped some of it’s flowers and some of the fruit, but it’s supposed to drop what it does not feel is healthy to flourish.

There are still over a dozen oranges left on the tree.

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.

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.
