#Gardening - Testing my options




The really good thing about the place we rented: It has a sun room.
So, lacking a green house or hot bed, I'll see if I can get stuff to grow in here. 

Some of the store bought plants are already   doing well, flowers as well as herbs. 

Today I planted quite a few heritage seeds from 'The Seed guy'
- Sweet Spanish Onions x 4
(green Onions would have been better, but I Don't have any)
-Bloomsdale Spinach x 4
- Scarlet Nantes Carrot x 3
- Red Cored Chanteney Carrot x 3
- Ruby red swiss chard x 2
- Morris heading Collards x 3
- Snowball Cauliflower x 4
- Arugula x 4
- Siberian Kale x 2
- Bok Choy Cabbage x 3








Those are planted in an egg carton, egg shells on bottom for nutrition, watered and seeds set with a giant tooth pick thingy, protected with an old water bottle
for what will hopefully give me some hit house effect.



Heritage seeds Planted in clay pots:
- Italian giant parsley x 10
- Parris Island Romaine lettuce x 10
- Leisure Coriander x 5





The clay pots are by the way sponsored by 'Canadian gardens'!
They took petty on me and gave me a bunch of Clay and plastic pots they didn't need to more,
when I went shopping there a short while back - Thanks guys!



Watered and covered with recycled plastic bags. 

Also planted:
2 x store bought organic garlic
6 x store bought lemon seeds



And also one of my store bought (non-organic) garlics has started sprouting last week
