Of course... we grant you those hours spent behind a good book or "lounge around" watching an exciting movie. I'm just giving you some ideas to keep your green thumb!

The room as a breeding ground

More and more people are enjoying indoor cultivation. In a bright spot, you can easily grow herbs and microgreens in a pot or on a mat. Harvest young and start again: deliciously fresh and a beautiful and healthy addition to your dishes!

Growing sprouts (i.e., without soil or a mat) requires a bit more technique. We have a simple rinsing device, the Bioset, and it works fantastically, but success depends on the regularity with which you rinse the seeds. The fully automatic Vitaseed Sprouting Drum is ideal for this, a small version of professional sprouting drums, success guaranteed, just take a look.

Light enough

Light is needed for growing indoors, I've talked about that before. In winter, the days are short and behind the window you already miss 50% of the light on the other side of that window. Light ensures that your plants (for example, your freshly germinated seeds) become compact and sturdy. That's why your plants become long and thin due to insufficient light. We have a lot of very good plant lighting in our assortment, economical and effective, just take a look.

See you off!

In the past few weeks, I've been busy with preparations for the next bulb season. Although I always love looking at all those beautiful tulips, daffodils, and other spring-flowering bulbs, it's always a lot of work! But it's done now, and I hope you'll be able to enjoy them to the fullest from September onwards.

Additionally, last week I harvested my onions and garlic, and I'm really proud of my red onions. Normally, we never have much luck with onions in the garden, but this time it actually worked! Now I'm letting them dry, and soon I'll be enjoying them.

This weekend, I think I'm just going to relax on a fan and perhaps go to a swimming pool with some friends. Although I have a feeling that all of Dordrecht will be there too… So we'll see!
