Well, it's running rivers outside, it's leaking inside, and it's hard to take photos when your feet are in a pool of water and the lens of your camera keeps getting wet. So today, I found an indoor gardening activity to keep me happy.
These are those peat pots I tested out a few weeks ago. I will use coconut husk ones next time, but I might as well use these ones up now I have them.
The wonderful thing about these little pots, is that you don't actually have to do anything. You just add water and pop in the seed. It can't get any easier than that. Of course I didn't have to add any water, there is plenty of that falling from the sky for free.
I chose to plant teeny tiny seeds, I have corn and beans I want to plant out, but those seeds are big and it's easy to just sow them directly. The little ones tend to get lost in plantation. Ooo that's funny.
Anyway, I popped in Rosella, Tarragon, Dill and Eggplant.
That's it, gardening done for the day.
I really hope it stops raining now.

Hi Ali,
I've recently discovered these peat pots too. They're good aren't they.
Oh yes, aren't they fabulous for those little seeds... what are you planting in them? After I bought them I learnt that using the peat ones isn't very environmentally friendly, lovely old peat bogs are drained and dug up to make us little pots. Elaine from BLF suggested trying coconut husk ones instead, these are easily renewable. You can order them from Green Harvest. I'm going to give them a try next, I feel very guilty for buying the peat!
