The past week I ordered a bunch of seeds and some plants online. The first delivery from “Pšeno” arrived a couple of days ago and yesterday I got my order from “Kuća biljaka”. A first I was really surprised by the size of the box in which my order arrived but when I opened it I was truly amazed.

The plants were packed in a bunch of hay, tucked away in the middle so that they wouldn’t be damaged. And they really weren’t damaged. The plants were completely safe inside without a single damaged leaf. I have never gotten an order packed so well. All of my deliveries of plants are always packed well, but they do have some squished leaves and I was never surprised by it. When you order plants online you’re prepared for some damage. But “kuća biljaka” raised the bar on plant packing. 

When all of my orders arrived I went on a sowing spree and I’ve sown all the vegetables and flowers I need for the autumn. 

After direct sowing, I went to container sowing and I’ve sown everything I had to sow. I even had to sow the flowers to small pots and I will have to repot them as soon as they get two real leaves because of the lack of space.

I don’t really remember if I ever had so many sown varieties for autumn production. I have a feeling that only the very shaded part of the garden will be left to sleep during the winter. With everything I’ve sown at least 2/3 of the garden will be full during the winter. Which could be a good thing if the winter won’t be too harsh.
