Woo, finally bought all that potting mix. Now I have 3 32" containers loaded with Pea seeds, a 24" container with Radish seeds, and a 24" container with Sweet Pea seeds (and the ill-fated seedlings I started under the lights a few weeks ago.
I also filled two of those rectangular take out containers with the seed starting mix, and put lettuce seeds in one, and Swiss Chard in the other. I finally found that Mike McGrath interview on growing microgreens indoors. Not that I couldn't figure that part out on my own. It's partly just because I think it will be super cute and happy.
I now have a ton of seed starting trays upstairs. The Radicchio and the Bok Choy really need to be transplanted. I guess I should harden them off during next week, and then over the weekend, I'll actually plant them. Same with the Lettuce, and the bigger Kale.
I got 9 decent Kales, 6 Radicchio, 6 Romaines, 6 medium Bok Choy, one biggie Bok Choy... I think that's it. That's almost enough to fill the raised bed. Before we transplant those, I will want to top it off with more potting mix. And! I have some lovely compost to spread on top!
There are 2 full trays in the worm bin. The one that I "harvested" was only have full, and I got lots out of it. If I actually cook for a while, I'll have another full tray in 3 months! I'll have plenty of compost for the raised bed. And I'll be able to compost other things, like the shrubs.
