21 Apr 2008What the hell happened?! Jade Plant #1 Dying Down and jade plant (crassula ovata) gardenSunny 10°C / 50°F
I was looking at the before pictures of my jade plant and I’m wondering what the hell happened. I suppose the stress and chaos of the construction has wrecked havoc on the plant. Poor thing. I hope that it will improve when I put it out on the balcony when the weather gets nicer and warmer....

21 Mar 2008no peppers for us Pepper gardenI was hoping that we would have some nice healthy chilli and box pepper plants. Unfortunately Ull got into the window box and decided that he needed to uproot the wee seedlings. I will give it another try soon. Hopefully they’ll grow beautifully because now the sun is out and shining.Overcast -1°C / 30°F

17 Mar 2008It's been a whileConstruction ended and the plants are trying to get back to normal. Ikea hacker had this great suggestion for a greenhouse, so we got ourselves a detolf glass shelf for the smaller jade plants, so they don’t have to sit on the window sill where it is very easy for Ull to knock them off. Any...Snow 1°C / 34°F

12 Jan 2008Update: Fungus GnatsFredrik and I went to a couple of garden centres before he went off to Australia. We picked up some biological spray that kills the adults and larvae and some yellow sticky hangers. I hung up one of those sticky traps on our largest jade plant. After a couple applications of the spray, it seems t...

10 Dec 2007Thank goodness for mothers!I talked to my mom on the phone last night and told her about my issues with the fungus gnats. She suggested that I get myself some bug spray. I put the plant(s) into a plastic bag like a garbage bag, spray the plant(s) and then close the bag for a while. That way, the bug spray is contained insi...

09 Dec 2007Curse this Sandinavian sun! 1 Chili Pepper and Pepper garden
I’ve planted about 6-8 seeds that have sprouted roots into the window box. There are tiny sproutlings but there has been so very little sun in the past few weeks. My basil plant is withering away. I’ve also been busy with our new kitten so I’ve been slightly forgetful in terms o...

08 Dec 2007Can you really get mad? jade plant (crassula ovata) garden
Fredrik and I got a kitten about 4 weeks ago. We named him Ull.
Ull discovered the window sill that I keep my smaller jade plants and the window box on. After I had gone to bed, he knocked over one of the smaller pot over. The pot is smashed and in the trash but the plant was salvageable. I put i...

08 Dec 2007Fungus Gnats!The fungus gnat situation is getting a bit out of hand. They’re flying into my face and up my nose at times. Ok, so it’s not like there are swarms of them (THANK GOD!) but there are enough to be an annoyance. The other day I finally got a spray bottle and I sprayed the soil of the pla...

03 Nov 2007THEY'RE ALIVE! Pepper garden
The seeds that sprouted in the bowl and glass were transferred into my window box. Now they have sprouted wee leaves. I can’t wait till they get bigger. I planted a bunch of them. I guess now it’s just a matter of playing the waiting game.
I’ve also been putting spent coffee gri...

14 Oct 2007Oh dear... Pepper garden
I was cleaning up the flat yesterday and in the process of vacuuming, I knocked the glass containing the wee pepper plants off the set of drawers they were sitting on top of. Bits of dirt, glass EVERYWHERE!
Unfortunately I could not salvage the wee plants ‘cause there was just too many bits...
