Today was a good day to play hookie!

I took a mental health day from work today ;). And I just wasted my day..well not really, planted my new winter indoor garden sprouts, made bread, got local meat....a busy fun day. So yeah any of you in a planting spree!? I'm not really, not yet. But I wanted to give another try to growing cuccumbers indoors. Last Fall I had stoped because of a gnat infestation. Now they are all gone (by leting my plant's dirt dry up). So that was my day, if you want to see the video here it is ;)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IVLPwUUmBY
So I hope you are all anxious for this gardening season!

  1. Which cucumber seed did you use? It would work better with the F1 hybrid greenhouse cucumber because they don't need to be pollinated. All female blossoms and every blossom produces a cucumber. If you used a garden variety it might work if you pollinate the blossoms with a small paint brush. Good luck sounds like fun.

  2. I'm not a big fan of hybryds....so I'm using Straight Eight Organic Cucumber....and i don't mind polenting them. I did it all year long with my zucchinis and pumpkin(just to be sure that I got produce)
