It was a brilliant idea, but I was "almost sure" that not even half of my seeds would probably grow into anything like a real vegetable, so I decided to put lots (lots, really!) of them on the soil... No, I’m not exaggerated.. I just wanted to make sure that at least 2 or 3 would come out! O;)
After many days of watering the vegetable garden, looking at it impatient for something to happen, thinking about crazy ideas to speed up nature (no, there's no way, I found..), these tiny little leaves started popping out!! Wooooohoooo!! Excitement, happiness, photos, “Andy, Andy, come and see this!!”... And a week later they were even bigger! And bigger on the following week! Then I started realising - I had left too many seeds on the soil and they were really coming out, so I had to thin them out and give space to a reasonable number of them to grow.. :)
It was a great experience! It reminded me of when I was 5 or 6 years old and was taught about the beans growing in a small and clean jam jar, with cotton and water!
This year I tried carrots - small, round, almost sweet, perfect carrots! - and beetroot! Next year I’ll try something else! Loads of something else, of course!
I got the last few vegetables out today and here's the photo.. whatever the menu this week, it will certainly include beetroot! ;)
