Over zealous
Hmm… the instructions say that after 2 true leaves have formed I am to plant them in the ground. Since I live in quite an urban area, I don’t have access to ground but will enthusiastically plant them in pots. Another problem I realised after, was that real leaves are star shaped (almost), and the inital two leaves that sprout are actually the protective leaves from within the seed. G’ah! I hope I haven’t done too much damage planting them in my ‘grounds’ today.

I’m a subsidised tree hugger!
Thanks to the subsidies from my local council, I jumped at the chance of getting a wormery. I always feel guilty when I put vegetable peelings and such into the bin, particularly after a big chopping session.
For those who don’t know what a wormery is, according to the green gardener:
A wormery is an easy to use & efficient system of converting ordinary kitchen waste into top quality compost and concentrated liquid feed through the natural action of worms.
I’m not particularly fond of worms, but I hope we’ll get along.

Meanwhile the Luffa seedlings are growing up and it’s around time to pot them into larger containers.
