Easy idea: planting activities

Mar 26, 2013



Planting is always fun, but I associate it especially with Easter time, so the idea of this week is to plant something! Here in Finland we plant traditionally ryegrass before Easter, but I decided to plant some easy, edible plants: snow peas, some barley and peppercress.

Here's basically all you need to start planting: potting soil, seeds, and pots.

And then it's time to get started!

And just a couple of minutes later, you'll have this:

Remember to follow the instrucions given with seeds concerning watering, the type of earth, etc. Here I think I planted even a bit too much of peppercress, but hey, at least I'm sure to get something! 

I used these new planting pots I made out of recycled materials. How do you find them? If somebody's interested to see a tutorial, I sure can do that. Also, I love this quote in the background from Ella Wheeler Wilcox: A weed is but an unloved flower. Happy planting everybody!

Istutusjutut on aina hauskoja, mutta itse yhdistän ne varsinkin pääsiäisaikaan. Tällä kertaa halusin istuttaa perinteisen rairuohon sijaan syötäviä, helppoja kasveja: sokerihernettä, ohraa ja krassia. Istutusjuttuihin ei paljoa tarvitse; vain multaa, siemeniä, ja astiat. Itse käytin astioina näitä juuri kierrätysmatskuista tekemiäni, mitäs pidätte? Voisin hyvin tehdä niistä tutoriaalin, jos kiinnostaa. Hyvää kevään alkua kaikille!
