The other day I planted all the seeds I had planned for March. What went into the ground were two kinds of tomatoes, leaf parsley, goose parsley, basil, lavender, giant verbena, snow love flowers and carrot. I have planted everything except the carrot indoors, the carrot ended up in the greenhouse. Carrots cannot be pre-cultivated. When it gets going, it sends a long root thread down into the ground and when it doesn’t go any further, it starts to grow on the width instead. This means that if you sow carrots in a tray indoors, they will only grow as long as the tray is deep.
I am so happy that there will be a lot of flowers this year. We haven’t invested much in it before, all the focus has been on edible crops. But the more I learn about biodiversity and the needs of the insects, my interest in flowers has also increased. There happened to be a lot of purple flowers. Nothing I thought of when I ordered, but it’s probably the color I like most in flowers.
I made an attempt to film when I was sowing but inexperienced as I am filming, it turned out to be a weird angle where my arm obscured a part of the seeds… How difficult can it be, one wonders, quite difficult it seems. Haha! There will be new attempts! The video of the sowing of the carrot turned out quite well, so possibly it will be up on youtube soon. I posted my first video in the form of a “short” on YouTube the other day. It’s a movie where I peel a black, dried, half-rotten cabbage and find a beautiful little head under all the bad leaves.
