a day in the life of a latvian mom

I had to replant cucumbers already! The thing is, it’s true when someone says — don’t start too early, they won’t grow. I started my cucumbers (these cucumbers will be indoor ones, not for the field — it’s way too early for that here in Latvia) on the 30th of January and another two batches two weeks later on the 13th of February.

After my growing tent was gifted on the 20th of February, I put them all under the lights. I had to transplant them to bigger pots on the 28th of February… Already! Only two days later, I regretted not planting each one in a separate container but using the plug tray with eight huge plugs. They grow so quickly.

I think I will buy 10-liter containers for each cucumber — but that will come later on. I hope they will be happy in their new homes for now.
