What happened this week 01/21-01/28

The previous weeks we was busy to build up the special room for the nursery, cleaning everything what we use and load small but important things done. 
This week we sowed 13 type of chillies like Cayenna, Scotch, Tabasco, Naga, Thai Red chillies and Organic seeds. 
Also this week got our second delivery from Oakland Gardens on another 1000 pcs 3' pots, Vermiculite and Perlite for potting on later. 
During the week quite few chilli plants germinated so start using the lights for them as well. The room temperature 🌡 is around 21-25 Celsius all the time. Nice and cosy atmosphere 😀 👌  
Unfortunately my wrist is got joint infection what reduce my availability to lifting. Few days ago it's swollen up, and painful to do anything with. But the pain still not stop me to do things. 
Also start planning the outdoor area for this season. After last year lovely green food jungle I would like same or better crops this year. 
It's end of January and not too many things to do outdoor. 
Our greenhouse got new flooring and metal L shaped angles for more protection of the heavy winds. 

Beautiful plants bring their flowers what just chasing the winter. Soon it's February 😍 and in February we sowing again in the Nursery.

Trouble

 Trouble  So we had very nice germination rate on chillies, plants are just amazing and near a K lot what is just made some headache to me, because the nursery room not enough large for this many. AND so it is February so we give the go for the tomato seeds. Because of lack of place wehad no choose just sow the half many what we wanted to sow.  Its mean the balance scale is now down on the chilli side. Germination rate now at the moment around 67% of the whole. Its already too many. But we love chillies. And of course tomatoes as well. 17 varieties sowed. This is more likely will be 800+ plants.  We have to mind with the place for them. More shelves definitely need.

I'm big lover of any type of plant since childhood. I loved to plant with my dad when i was child. But where and when began this passion? Let me tell you an a lovely story about this. I was around 7-8 years old little girl when I was spending my time at "afternoon in the school". It was a class for those children who's parents are worked. One sunny spring day we was taken out of the school to the park. It's was not like present day park as we know in England. Pop up the question than where I came from. Okay, I came from Eastern Europe from a country calls Hungary. Just back to the present story from my past. So we was taken to the park, where was lot of tree and really big area with wilds flowers and grass. I was that kind of little girl who was always cove

Ready Steady...Grow in 22 It`s nearly end of January what mean HVN starts sow and grow this year plants. But the very first things should be done before I start do anything. All of the growing trays, tools need to be cleaned and sanitised to prevent future problems. Clean and wipe all of the shelf systems, grow lights, tables, fans, dripping trays and tools for sowing. Ordering 9 cm pots for now we have on stock only 600 pcs but more will be ordered in February. Like more 1000 pcs need in case.  In this year improvements:   - 10 large dripping trays what will help with easy watering and feeding our plants. -  1 Standing Fan for air movement in the nursery room - 5 kg 14 -7 21 Npk Organic Water solution plant feed from Germany  I hope next year we can improve the room with Spiderfarm light system ( one of our goal for this year )  Full set up is build and all safety procedure is done. Grow lights are tested.
