Growing greens in flats. Making vanilla.

The post has nothing to do with my batch of vanilla, but isn't it pretty?
I keep seeing greens planted in flats in book, blogs...everywhere. I have decided to give it a try. They are often grown in the house under lights. I have plant eating cats, so it would never survive. I have decided to try it in the greenhouse. I won't use the lights unless I think I need them.

  1. In the UK a flat is what you call an apartment; and we call your type of flat a seed-tray. All very confusing! And what is "making vanilla" about? Are you flavouring something with vanilla, or growing the pods??

    1. Hi Mark...I understand the confusion. The vanilla is brewing in that glass jar. I should have clarified Vanilla Extract. It's vodka and vanilla beans.

    2. My arugula germinated quickly in the coldframe. We had some great sun today. Yours should be up and running!!

    3. It doesn't look like anything new is up, but some of the lettuce in the greenhouse bed should be at 'tiny salad size' in a couple weeks. Yayyy.

  3. Erin, sounds like you are half way to delicious Kahlua. If you are not making it, please google Kahlua and be prepared for scrumptious.
