Starting shallots 
The shallot is an easy to grow type of onion that is known for its excellent flavour. It grows well in soil but is also very productive in containers, ideal for the small city garden.

Germination has failed but I got a plan!

Every windowsill and balcony should have a salad garden. Growing lettuce in pots indoors ensures young healthy plants are ready and growing for when the temperatures finally rise outside.

Foto 1, 2 en 3: op 6 februari gestart met 4 verschillende soorten. Lombardo, King of the North, Early Red en Ferenc Tender. De zakjes op ons modem geplakt.
Foto 4: Op 12 februari kwamen de eerste worteltjes tevoorschijn.
Foto 5 en 6: Op 22 februari wortels en blaadjes. Tijd om ze in een potje te zetten. De potjes staan in de vensterbank met een doorzichtige kap extra eroverheen voor meer warmte.
Foto 7: De eerste echte blaadjes zijn te zien. Nu krijg ik steeds meer hoop dat we ook dit jaar weer paprika's uit onze eigen tuin kunnen eten!
Kweek jij ook zelf paprika's?

Last year I have grown with succes peppers with the Denomethod. So this year I would try this again.
Pict 1, 2 & 3: At 6 febr I started with 4 different peppers: Lombardo, King of the North, Early red and Ferenc Tender. I taped the packages with the seeds to our modem.
Pict 4: At 12 febr are the first roots visible
Pict 5 & 6: At 22 febr there are roots and leaves. Time to pot them on. They are in the windowsill now with an extra transparent lid for more warmth.
Pict 7: At 9 March you can see the first roots. Now I am getting more and more hopeful that we really can eat again our own grown peppers this year.
More info of the Denomethode you can find here:

It is in Dutch, but there are good pictures.
Do you grow your own peppers?

And as I've been shouting from the rooftops lately: if you are at all able, start a veggie garden.
Garden design idea 
When planning a garden for the year it is important not to be set in your ways and just keep repeating the same exercise from previous years.
trypophobia
What on earth has been living in my leeks? I pulled out a dead one to find this? Next one over was similar, still had it's roots and a bit of life left (mmmm dinner).

These fast growing beans can be planted in the autumn to over-winter or in early spring (February/March) for a summer crop. They grow well in soil or in containers.

Vertical Gardening 
In the urban city garden there is often no option but to use vertical space. Ground conditions in a city space often mean dampness and an increase in slugs and snails at ground level.
