Tonight's harvest from the balcony and indoor hydroponic

Went out to clean up the balcony and found that the yellow cherry tomato plant from last year is still full of flowers and had a lot of #tomatoes on the branches and some on the ground.

Picked a few #peppers from the indoor hydroponic as well because it's time to trim it a bit because it's getting too big for the little space I have.

I will see if I can propagate the plant and make a few extra plants out of it.

My 2x12L dutch bucket hydroponic units I setup using wood from a pallet and 10W LED lights from #IKEA #Växer have helped multiple plants growing extremely well.

2 pepper plants and couple of flower plants growing in a unit with 10L water reservoir and water pump that is active 3x20 minutes per day.

Had to hand pollinate the #peppers and saw a few growing in the back, one ready to pickup. And of course lots and lots of flowers. Time to hand pollinate a few more.

This is my second most successful hydroponic project.

Have a problem and a dilemma.

This is my Kratky Hydroponic pepper plants.

It has been growing so well in the past 6 weeks and has plenty of peppers and flowers.

But, the problem is that the 5L container is almost empty and I had problem with refilling #Kratky units before and really really don't want to harm this beautiful plant.

I was thinking about moving it into a 20L bucket, and trim the roots before putting it into althe 2/3rd filled bucket. But I don't want to show k it either.

The other problem is that it's covered with #aphids. Forgot to spray it with soapy water in the past few days and it's now have 1000 of those little buggers sucking the juice out of my lovely plant.

I have to make the decision today.

time to move the Dutch Bucket unit out on the balcony.

2 tomatoes doing really good, 3 died, one replaced with TinyTim and the other one is still open.

The peppers seem to be doing pretty well but very different; one is long and growing well the other one is just bushy.

The spring onions I put there just or test have not grownemuch so I may replace them with different peppers.

Have a 40L storage ready for them and to place them out on the balcony where the cucumber plant is right now.

Have to plan well because it will be hard to replocate afterwards and must make sure they are protected from scorching sun of coming aummer.

Woke up early again and decided to finish the light fixture for Dutch bucket project.

Using wood from a pallet I found on the street, to make it possible to attach 2 large IKEA grow lights from the Krydda system.

Have to find a way to hide the wires and the transformers when putting it in the bedroom.

Will add some reflective walla around it to keep the lights concentrated on the tomatoes and peppers.

2x16w lamps, 10h pee day is 320w pee day, if I have them for 100 days to have a good harvest, it will be about 32kW of power at 0,25 euro per kWh, means around 8 euro for electricity, or probably double that because of the inefficient driver circuit. I'm expecting to get at least 4 to 5 kg of cherry tomatoes from it, so it is a good price for having home grown vegetables.
Have no idea how much peppers I will get. But those are very expensive here, sold at Lidl in 4 packs for 1 euro and I am sure I will get significantly more than 4 in the coming 100 days.

Today's gardening work almost done!

Repotted some of the seedlings using the mix of #compst (2 parts) coco peat (2 parts) and #Perlite (one part) after the soil was microwaved to kill any soil gnats.

I have about 17 tiny Tim midget #tomatoes. 6 Armenian #cucumbers, 6 small cucumbers, 8 beef tomatoes and several #peppers and #spinach (not in these pictures).

Running out of space and soon I am hoping to be able to move everything out on the #balcony.

Economical way of stashing some seeds for future!

Wanted to have a couple of #Sorrano pepper plants and seeds are only sold in package for 4 euro.

Went to our market and paid 4.50 for 5 #peppers, took the seeds out and had one in my dinner last night and the rest going to freezer.

And have tons of #seeds!

Have to use gloves when I'm working with them. Their inside flesh and seeds are extremely spicy.

No new flowers but several large #jalapeno peppers!

One of the 3 jalapeno pepper plants I grew from seeds last summer keep giving me fresh peppers since late June last year.

Kept 2 outside and one inside to see the difference in growth. They seems to be growing the same.

I think this summer I will have enough peppers to make a couple of jars of fermented #peppers.

(All plants are soil based).
