Dome: Revenge of the Seedlings

After mum got home, we headed into the city to do some shopping, and then stopped at the Dome on our way back to the farm. I was amazed to see how much the plants had grown in the two weeks since I had last been there - it was truly crazy to see. If you want to compare, my first post about the dome is over here. 

It was so exciting to see all the peas and beans I had planted were already sprouting and beginning to crawl upwards - I am still kinda upset I won't be around to see the harvest, but I guess I will have to live vicariously through Connie's blog posts on the subject (not quite the same as eating peas off the vine but it shall have to do).

There weren't any berried on the strawberries I'd planted yet, but there were a couple of blossoms, so they should be coming! It was amazing how well the strawberries were doing, considering everything they'd been through before we planted them.

I was really lucky with the weather while I was home, especially since it snowed the week before I got there AND the day after I left (Alberta...).

Whatcha know about that dome life?

Connie has been brought in to plant a geodesic dome greenhouse, which you can read about on her blog here, here, and here. 

While we were out at the farm, Logan and I accompanied my mum to the dome a couple of times to plant and water. 

The dome is at a really nice location, out on a farm not too farm away from Christine's farm.

This is a mystery plant - mum thinks it might be a weed but its growing quite well :P

The centre bed is where we did most of our planting - mum bought three plants from the greenhouse, and we got strawberries from Krista, so I helped mum plant the strawberries as well as some beans and peas.
