lettuce, just before picking off leaves to have a nice plateful with my pizza and chips. and have started another tray off to keep the 'cut and come again' lettuce going... though thats all those seeds used up, I'll have to try to get some more. the plastic lids on these are years old, they've scrubbed up quite well but they are so brittle they are cracking and breaking bits off as you move them.
various things, possibly beetroot and broccoli that can be planted out in a week or so, some herbs that will need potting on, the two little white pots are the tomatoes from Wildside, and I think there might be one or two more from the second planting of seeds that are just germinating.
just visible... Casper being Mr Grumpy of the Greenhouse, its warm, its out of the wind.... but not comfortable enough for his liking.

Natural Horsemanship
A lifetime of kind horsemanship, I think we were doing natural horsemanship before it was ''invented''
I have completed Level One with Quantum Savvy Natural Horsemanship.
I am sad I can no longer access the Parelli learning platform, its just too expensive with too many changes.
I've tried some clicker training with good results , but haven't found any one person to wholly agree with. I guess I'll just need to keep trying to see what works

lettuce looking good
Claire, I'm back up blog-wise -- doesn't mean much as I don't know for how long!
But if you want to swing by you are welcome...
It is wonderful to have a greenhouse... I miss mine from my old place.. this is inspiring me to have another made at our present little place. I have been sprouting lentils and broccoli seeds for eating in my kitchen.. lentils are so fast and good... broccoli are very slow and quite sulphury bitter, but they say bitter is good, takes some getting use to. good luck with your plantings.. I'm hoping to get a few seeds in the ground today. cheers
I was just thinking about sprouting, I did do it some years ago, a good way of providing something fresh to eat without waiting four weeks for it to be ready
yes, I so agree.. and watching them grow feels good too
LOL! Not a surprise, but I do this too (sprouting lentils & beans before using in the kitchen...) I guess the happy surprise is, unbeknownst, we all are doing it together! As I like the company. Glad I haven't been able to source broccoli seed for such? Trying to look for the grateful? (I love bitter, but others in my household don't... And actually have trouble digesting many things...)
OK, thanks, to you both! (Claire & Gwen)
And did you know "umami" is actually just usually from broken down protein (ie. usually fermented beans)? In Japanese cuisine, the fifth flavor.
So when you are sprouting lentils and beans you may be partially on the way there....
I accidentally got there last week -- my white beans got a little too fermented from sprouting but I went ahead and used them anyway, but cooked them very well into a sauce with lots of greeny garden harvest (herbs) that I used as a topping for bean noodles...
That is very informative, Thank you
