Today marks day 16 of my seedlings and I must say they are a bit worse for wear. Yes, yes, I did read all the articles and posts that told me what to do properly but the truth is that sunlight does, in fact, make ALL the difference.
So now we are trying out grow lights. A lovely little setup that was easily available on Amazon and got here efficiently in two days is now on a timer for 15 hours of sunlight every day starting at 7 am. And perhaps the plants will do more than this:
Not a happy set of sprouts.
The decision to plant a fall garden was somewhat impetuous. The garden has been dormant for three years and while we have grand plans there is lots of hardscaping to deal with before we get to new beds. But I got SO excited, I just couldn’t resist planting something for us to play with.
So off to Sloat’s we went, and then into these cool little coconut fiber pots did some Kale, and Brussels sprouts go along with some cauliflower and broccoli.
Here’s hoping there’s more progress soon.
