September 1: the sowing continues 🙂

Where does the time go? The days are getting shorter and summer is almost over. According to the weather experts, it's actually already fall here in Holland.
The good news? The weather doesn't look so bad for the next few weeks. Sun with showers here and there, and temperatures around 20°C. So you can still work on your tan.

A new type of marigolds will probably make the cut. But they grow way bigger than we expected. One per square patch will be plenty.
Bees seem to love this single flower marigold:

As for the other varieties we tested - the striped stuffer tomato, Russian kale, parsley and padron pepper - the jury is still out on those.
So, that's it for today
For the coming weeks, these are - among other things - the top to-do's on our list:
- improving the site design and getting a faster system
- finishing up the Planty Library
- choosing the new vegetables for the app
- adding new images to the app
- new packaging
And we're also looking into adding onions and garlic to the app. Yum.
In short: our agenda is full for the time being 😉
