Here in the UK the sun is sporadically peeping out through the clouds and we all need something to look forward to. There was a great gardening / horticulture chat on here a couple of years ago which would be great to revisit.
How are you making your space a green balearic garden / millennial Berlin apartment paradise?
I’m about to turn on my LEDs and plant some Asian and Italian basil (takes forever to grow from seed). I’ve got 3 different types of chili plants (habanero, espelette and Thai) that desperately need some photons too. I put them outside, but not sure they’re going to make it. Will try them under the LEDs. Other bits and bobs too I’m sure.
i have a “walking” sansiveria that’s coming into flower. it’s only taken 7 years! proud plant papa
It grew quite strongly and has even managed a few shoots over winter. Can’t wait to get it out in the sun. I’ve debated getting it a grow light but not quite got round to it. Any recommendations, also for a heat mat?
It’s looking really healthy there. It’s obviously loving the perlite.
I don’t remember the make of my led. It was a cheap one from China. I ended up having to replace the electronics in it because the fan died. It’s now indestructible after being fixed by an expert (not me!). It got gutted.
I hid the leaves that have caterpillar holes in them on the other side 
I mean how do you get caterpillars in December on the kitchen windowsill?
Amaryllis bulb, given to me by my cousin for Christmas. I just found a nice pot and put it in a warm spot. This is the slightly dull thing.
Couple of avocado plants struggling with this traumatic winter. Pruned them with optimism. Highly recommend the Wandering/Sailor/Jew as a plant - very hardy, beautiful and great as a hanger.
Had grand ideas to do loads of digging-over up the allotment this autumn / winter… Sorting new layout etc. Managed two days it’s been so bleeding wet.
Was quite chuffed at the sweetcorn last year I grew from seed. Also used to think there’s no point growing stuff you can’t eat but chucked in some flowers too as I got some free seeds and got more satisfaction than I ever imagined when they grew.
Itching to get going again… Took some cuttings from a monstera at home, early days as to whether they’ll take.
Yeah, that’s a fine specimen. Great for cuttings.

Just applied seaweed as a foliage spray. Not a bad thing for house plants and seedlings as light increases and growth picks up ( but by no means essential).
