My first attempt at growing a vegetable I can eat failed. My tomato plant got too cold over the winter and I neglected to bring it inside so it died. RIP, little tomato seedling.
My second attempt, growing broccoli from seeds, is beginning to bear fruit. Or vegetable, actually.
Sure, I've made some critical errors along the process. Among others, I neglected to properly space out the plants, that needed a bucket each rather than have 3-4 plants sharing a bucket. This, and lack of direct sunlight on my balcony, are the cause for my broccoli seedlings from bloody November to only start looking like broccoli now.
I am beyond thrilled, even though this is not a successful experiment. Those tiny heads of broccoli will start turning yellow long before they're big enough to be called a vegetable, but I don't care.
(That's my thumb for perspective)
I will probably adopt another tomato seedling as spring starts (it's still uncharacteristically cold and windy for this time for year), but I am open to suggestions. What should I try growing next?
