Indoor Garden, Updated Weekly
Posted: Wed Jan 20, 2016 7:42 pm
Hi everyone. Here are the details of my indoor garden. If anyone has any tips or suggestions: please let me know! I have also monitored temps/humidity if more specifics are ever desired.
The problem:
Desire to grow an abundance of tasty vegetables in the harsh Northern-Canadian winter, as a hobby but also hopefully be successful enough for some tasty rewards.
The secondary problem:
I don't like many vegetables.
The Solution:
Grow peppers, both sweet and hot. I love peppers. You can make many delicious things with peppers.
Grow tomatoes, because you can't make salsa or chili without tomatoes.
Grow cilantro, for now obvious reasons and it doesn't take up much space.
Specificially I am growing these peppers from Baker Street (sweet peppers) and many types of tomatoes.
Pepper 1: https://www.rareseeds.com/lipstick/
Pepper 2: https://www.rareseeds.com/white-lakes/
Hot pepper recommendations accepted.
Week 1:
First peppers sprouted exactly 1 week after placing the seeds into starting pellets. Week 2:
Tomatoes and cilantro have been planted, expecting germination in about a week.
The other kind of peppers have started to germinate. I moved some of the first to sprout into solo cups for better root development before final transplant. I probably only plan on keeping 1-3 of each type of plant grown in here as I simply do not have much space. Just letting as many as I can grow for now, keep my favorites and give away the rest.
