Desktop Garden: July 2012
http://desktopgarden.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Ian and Minako Jacksons Liverpool apartment indoor desktop garden project. About the Desktop Garden. Friday, 27 July 2012. First Stripey Aubergine Appears. Some while after the lovely Aubergine (Eggplant) flowers. Appeared the stripey fruits are slowly emerging. I hadn't noticed before just how sharp those small needles are on the enveloping leaves. Obviously there to protect the young fruit from predatory birds etc. These plants do attract greenfly but otherwise seem to be quite trouble free (so far).

Now more than two months since we started our Desktop Garden and you can see it's completely full and very green. As mentioned in previous posts we put some of the plants on the windowsill so it does spread out a bit but it just about still fits onto the desk. Are now looking quite plump, the five Tomato. Plants and four Peppers. Posted by Ian Jackson.

Ian and Minako Jacksons Liverpool apartment indoor desktop garden project. About the Desktop Garden. Sunday, 5 August 2012. A Taste of Padron Peppers. We decided it was time to pick a few of our Padron Peppers. They're about the size of my thumb and still quite young and green but appear to have stopped growing in size. We cut them in half, sprinkled with oil and sea salt and grilled for a few minutes - very nice. Posted by Ian Jackson. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 160;and Live.

http://desktopgarden.blogspot.com/2012/08/tiny-tomatoes-almost-ready-to-eat.html
Ian and Minako Jacksons Liverpool apartment indoor desktop garden project. About the Desktop Garden. Wednesday, 22 August 2012. Tiny Tomatoes Almost Ready to Eat. Almost. but not quite. The Head Gardener likes her tomatoes to be very red and ripe before picking. While we were away for a few days all our plants enjoyed camping out in the real sun and rain on a kind neighbour's balcony. It seemed to do them good, all the peppers have reddened a lot too but now they're all back indoors. Posted by Ian Jackson.

Ian and Minako Jacksons Liverpool apartment indoor desktop garden project. About the Desktop Garden. Friday, 13 April 2012. Spinach Looking More Like the Real Thing. We last posted a picture of our young Spinach. Nearly a month ago on St Patrick's Day. Then each seedling just had the 2 thin grass-like leaves (called Cotyledon. Fyi) which you often find in bags of Spinach and feel a bit cheated. Posted by Ian Jackson. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Founder of artinliverpool.com. 160;and Live.

Desktop Garden: Plentiful Padron Peppers
http://desktopgarden.blogspot.com/2012/07/plentiful-padron-peppers.html
Ian and Minako Jacksons Liverpool apartment indoor desktop garden project. About the Desktop Garden. Saturday, 21 July 2012. Very pleased with the number of little Padron Peppers. You may recall these are the type where about 1 in 50 is really hot. I doubt we'll get as many as 50 from our one plant but still makes me nervous thinking about it. It'll be quite a while before they're ready to eat. Posted by Ian Jackson. 25 July 2012 at 15:37. 27 July 2012 at 08:45. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
