With Easter approaching it's time to start a bit of gardening again. My first batch of seedlings this year is the bok choi veggies. sent me the seeds two years ago and I've been planting them every year with mixed success. These seedlings are just over two weeks old, and are coming along nicely. I hope they will produce a good crop in a couple of months time.
This year I don't have a garden, only some outdoor space, so I can't plant my veggies in the ground. I'm going to plant them individually in plastic bottles which will sit in these plastic trays so I can move them around easily. Each tray holds 11 bottles and so far I have 23 bottles. My sister in law has been saving them for me as she's drinking bottle still water instead of tap water. Not very environmentally friendly I know, but she's recovering from cancer and needs to keep an eye on her food and drink intake, so I'm going to cut her the slack. Plus I'm reusing the plastic so all is good.
I also have these tomato seedlings and two apple custard plants. I'm babysitting them for my sister as she's going away for two months. Hopefully they'll still be ok when she comes back. She's planted a lot, so I'm going to keep a few as last year my tomato plants were a disaster (actually most of the stuff I grow are a disaster!!!)
