Heni's Vegetable Nursery

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 no...

I always very excited when it's time to sow my selection of chilli seeds🌶  After all of equipment is sanitised and clean I filled the special sowing compost from Westland (Seed and Cutting compost) in the trays.  For the chillies I used to soak the seeds in small amount of water to hydrates the seeds, what help with the germination. Can be sowed without soaking as well but the germination time will be a bit longer. Some people make a camilla bath for the seeds what is help sanitising the seeds and dissolve the protection layer from the seeds. This layer is don't let the seeds in nature to germination before the circumstances is not perfect for grow.  Also very important the light. The natural light in January and February is not on enough amount in the UK, so for early sowing needs full spectrum lights. The best temperature for germination chillies is around 21°-27°C. Chillies love the humidity when they germinating. The seeds doesn't need fertiliser, also th...

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.  

Let me talk about the previous season. It was all good. More than 400 costumers bought my plants. I seen load of happy people, I heard back of their success. Actually I did personally a success not only with the HVN but in person. Lats year I set a goal about my garden what was a project called Food jungle. Under this project I grow more than what I imagined about this little concentrate garden. Got 2 new raised bed and 2 wall planter each 2,5 m planted in strawberry plants, fit in 60 plants. Growed loads of strawberries over a kg. Also I growed 7 kg of tomatoes 🍅 and loads of chillies like Hungarian Black, over 5 kg of beans 6kg of potato, salads,  peas, radishes, onions herbs and many more. So the year was a big success till December when storm Arwen actually destroyed the whole garden and the greenhouse panels been blown away around the neighbourhood. I was quite sad because of the greenhouse need to continue the Heni's Vegetable Nursery. But that moment...

Tomato seedlings are gone though carefully selection they are been potted in 9 inch pots. I potted 10 type of tomato seedlings - they are very healthy and with strong roots. I place them outside for daytime to help them to deal with freehold conditions. I been busy to select them today as well like the last five days as well. These tomato seedlings are my best favourite : Shirley.   They have heavy crop and medium size red fruits, and Shirly is showing high disease resistance, and also grow very nicely in cooler conditions. In UK this kind of natures are very good in here. But Shirley is only one of my 10 types, there are lot more type of tomatoes will be on sale like Gardener`s Delight, Green ZEBRA what is an Green colour tomato what her name let us to imagine. Also will on sale some Yellow tomato and Tigerella and Balkon tomatos like Tumblig Tom, Vilma and Bajaja.    I planning to finish with carefully selection within few days.
