No. 52: It's raining... it's pouring...

❝

Of course... we're happy for you to spend those hours with a good book or "chilling" on the couch with an exciting film. I'm just giving you a few ideas to keep your fingers green!

The room as a breeding ground

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

Growing sprouts (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; it's a small version of professional sprouting drums, guaranteeing success. Take a look!

Light enough

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

Waving goodbye!

In recent weeks, I've been busy preparing for the next bulb season. While I always love looking at all those beautiful tulips, daffodils, and other spring-flowering bulbs, it's always quite a lot of work! But it's done now, and I hope you can enjoy them to the fullest from September.

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

This weekend, I think I'll just relax on a fan and maybe 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!
