Ladybugs and whiteflies



0 comments


I added three ladybugs (from the garden) to the basil and mint plants, since these are full of whiteflies. We'll see how it works.

More info about whiteflies (and their management) on whiteflies on this link (from the website of University of California Statewide Integrated Pest Management Program (IPM).

Pepper seeds from the kitchen

Around 40 seeds taken from a pepper before cooking. As far as I know, it should be a "sweet pepper" (Capsicum). The seeds were dried for almost a week in some paper and now are germinating in a small container in humid paper.

Strawberry and Cherry tomato



1 comments
Bought in Aktion some Cherry Tomato and Strawberry seeds.
Around 20 seeds of each, 0.99 € in total (with also two small pots and some "compressed soil").
For the record, the packages say:
Strawberry 35659-01
Rugen N5 (R)
J1228-1 L10447 2046
and
Tomato 30016-01
Gardeners Delight K1
J1190 L/10388 2038
Now they're all together in an ice-cream container (see the very nice picture below) with some ground from the garden and some of the compressed soil. After germination then they'll be moved.
