Got the first line of buckets done and I need to start thinking about the first plants go in. It's still winter so I need something cold hardy.

Went for some quick growing greens. Lettuce, iceberg and some cos. I ordered some fabric 'pots' this year to start my seedlings in and provide a support for the coco coir so it doesn't get all mixed up with the pebbles. Cleaning it off at the end of the season is a real chore.

Covered them up and I left them to germinate. It will take a few days before we see the first signs of life.

While I was watering the little rosemary cuttings from a couple of weeks ago I found a little intruder. A sycamore tree seed found it's way on the surface of the soil and sprouted.

I couldn't just kill it and I gave it a little pot of its own. Don't really have a use for a sycamore tree but we'll see how and if it keeps growing.
I removed the seed to help the plant out a little bit.

And two hours later the leaf already started uncurling to try to get some sun light.
