Part 1
plant patrol
WITH Simon & Lina
Hello
everyone!
and welcome to my first video blog -isch
Vlog ... well ...
Kind of vlog, anyway...
I love strawberries!
No, yes, but I do, I really love
strawberries, especially when it's getting a little bit warm and sunny
and so, outdoors
then I get strong summer feelings
and what is more summer than strawberries ?!
So, I wrote on Facebook, on my
on my own, private Facebook
I wrote out and asked all my loved ones
if you can grow strawberries indoors
I actually have no garden, and my balcony is kind of
not larger than this seat that I sit on
so the only option I have is to grow strawberries indoors
The answers that were was some scattered showers
Someone said 'yes, you actually can
as long as they are in South facing
and Bla bla bla bla '
What the f*, south facing ?!
I was like downloading an app with a compass to know
which side of the apartment my freaking strawberry plant should be allowed to grow and flourish in
I solve that later...
Among these reviews then
Simon Olsson wrote, thus,
Usoinredare
He suggested that we should have a little challenge, me and him
between each other
Simon is really good at interior design and he
has a unique style in what he does
and I will link all of his stuff, Instagram and blog and everything, down in the description
Go in and follow Him, you will not regret it, he is
one of my biggest inspirations!
And...
Both of us are apparently very bad at keeping our plants alive
I have tried
so much, I can't even keep a cactus alive
So, it's crazy
and he is apparently just as miserable as me
Therefore...
Me and Simon started something
we have decided to call for
plant patrol! (#växtpatrullen)
And this is so fun
So we will have a project now where we
grow strawberry plants indoors
and then we'll have a little follow-up and stuff
mainly we have thought via instagram
where we can follow up on our
small strawberry plants
That's so frivolous whatsoever but I'm one excited
and I already know
given that I've been up half the night and Googled how to grow strawberries
I feel that I might be a little over-ambitious, but
It is what it is!
That's who I am and this will be so fun!
What we will do, anyway, is to see
who will manage to keep alive their strawberry plants the longest
and so we think like this
To all of you who want to be a part of this
can post pictures and blog about it
and you could tag me and Simon in
your posts on instagram
so that we can easily follow you as well
and we think that in every picture we put up as
follow up and
Tips & tricks and all that stuff
we'll tag with #växtpatrullen
So, thereof will everyone who is interested in
Following this, can go in and
find it very easy!
So, that's what we intend to do!
And for those of you who may not be as eager to grow strawberries
indoors, can still follow our little project
I think...
and this can be so fun!
So, #VÄXTPATRULLEN and grow strawberries!
(Instagram)
The very first thing I do is go and pick up pots
or, go and buy pots and then
go to
buy strawberry plants
and then I go home
back here and plant them!
An example of how
miserable I am at keeping plants alive
Here is my
... I do not know how many Ivy I have bought threw the years, because
Ivy is so, so gorgeous,
but...
Mine always gets so damn sad
They just die one by one, all the time.
I do not even know why I keep trying
but there it is.
Another attempt
was a pineapple
and it looks actually, to say the least
pretty sad too
So, we'll see
if I succeed in this with strawberries for this
not so green thumbs, I would say,
Well...
This is of course a sad excuse for cultivation thus
thats how it is.
But anyway, I put aside these
and so I hope I do better with my strawberries
Are you ready?
I know I am!
This is gonna be so much fun, and well, here we go!
There.
Now I sit with the entire car full of one large pot
I have a very small car
and it was a very large pot
Now the next stop is
to buy those strawberry plants that I
will grow
And when I googled half the night yesterday
I came to the conclusion that there is
different kinds of strawberries
also...
It will apparently be those who are more or less resistant
and a bit like that ...
And then I think that
best option for me right now is to
go to a real florist, I think
so I go to a plantation or something like that
Wherever it is, I'm not entirely sure, but
I have quite a lot of soup in the car so
we gamble simply
So...
Yes, now I came into my old neighborhood
I actually went by this street now and thought
it would be fun to
go in and say Hi to those who took over WackyGoose's first local
it is just up here, but
it was unfortunately closed at the moment and it was
so sad.
I got one of those urge to just go and visit
However, we're in an industrial park here
Here is a car sale
and here are some homes and stuff
and here's ... well ...
They are re building a lot here, but
there anyway,
in the white little door there, where is
WackyGoose's first local
So here we have been before, now it's
another store here
So, it was a bit boring
but we go off shopping strawberries instead!
Mm, like that.
Oh.
Now I stand here with lunch for a champion
Coffee with milk.
What I have purchased today is
I've got hold of a really fine pot
ofcourse from the store
www.wackygoose.se
so you will find lots of nice pots there
And then I have...
strawberry plants!
When I googled it said that you should
plant them with intervals 30-40cm
between each plant
That will not happen here,
for I have this pot here and I thought
I would put one
or two plants in another pot
that be out there in the living room, but
these anyway, I have
and then, so I did not really know
what kind of soil I should have
but I thought, when I stood in the shop,
that I will grow ...
kind of.
So I bought some growing soil
And I will plant them in an urn
so then I bought
U-soil,
because it says
Nutritious soil for urns
So I thought that this should be good
Plus, when I
googled then, as I said,
it said that the strawberry plants are keen to have some sand
or like hydrograins
in the soil to
easier to spread out their roots and stuff
So I got
two bags
of pine!
It's not sand or hydrograins
but I thought...
Well, they was on a shelf right infront of me, so...
so I thought that I take a couple of these.
I thought it might be good
I think I should mix the soil with them
Then I have a couple of small pots, then,
they are also available in the shop, these are beautiful
really
So charming.
They are also available in the store (www.wackygoose.se)
What I'm going with them, I'm not quite 100 of right now, but something
Anyway...
Now, in this now then,
it is
a draining hole...
on the bottom
But I have no
barrel to it and it is supposed to be
be indoors, so I think
actually I just
I put coffee filter at the bottom
I do not know if it will work
but I like to think that it should , so,
I hope it does not moldy or anything else scary
but uh ... well ...
Then, I have ...
This pot's very big and I did not know how many gallons it holds
I've got 18 gallons urn-soil
then I have 8 liters
of pine, and I have
purchased...
Yes, a few liters of that growing soil, then
But, I know
that...
I have some more
Regular potting soil, at home
since earlier
I see well if it is needed or not,
Yes, it is well just to start planting...
I guess...
And then it was actually on
Google (also)
that you should not
shove the plants longer than they are from the beginning
so that's what I think of, like, only ...
Yes, I take this seriously!
I want strawberries
and I want it now
and I want it indoors
so yeah ...
Woh!
Oops.
Crikey.
I was probably a little overzealous with
these like 20 ......
25 liters ...
But...
Better too much than too little, I feel.
So.
It looks quite nice, right?
Now, I have drawn up a hell of a bureau here and set
in front of the window
because I want ofcourse my strawberries to get a lot of sun
then it should obviously be very humid with strawberries
Look here!
It is a small flower here!
There it will be a strawberry, I think.
I think actually that it initially supposed to be really hot and stuff
so I'm going to put in a little barbecue sticks
and then put plastic over
but first I'll drown them
and so I thought I would pour in some of this
nutrient
It ought to work
For real - the game is on.
My strawberries will...
... get strawberries ...
Yes, with this damn plastic, it's not
as gorgeous
, I can not say ...
But I think it will actually be like this for a few days, anyway
until...
Well, until they got to grow a little more
in this pot
Then I'll see
I don't want
to have this ugly plastic
But it will have to look like this for a little while
Join the challenge!
