Fluorescent Light Party

I have gotten a BIT smarter with cucumbers.  On the left....   Bush cucumber Spacemaster.  On the right....   Bush cucumber Picklebush.  Small cucumbers....  that I can MAYBE keep indoors!


I'm still determined to grow mini bell peppers indoors.  Here's another batch.


Little pots of Tonda Di Parigi carrots .... doing great indoors!


Special carrots - under fluorescent lights.  Purple Dragon and Carnival.  I hope they do well.  These are little plugs that I can transplant into gallon pots.


Ever wondered what would happen if you cut off a stick of tomato plant and put it in a cup of water for 5 days?


Transplanted the swiss chard this morning.... aww, they're cute as babies.


Did I mention that I was going insane over basil?


Here's a happy generic bunch of plants.


The new basil planter.


Swiss chard is beautiful and delicious.  Who needs the sun?  They love fluorescent lights.


A new basil experiment.  "Bun" gets only nasty tap water with over 300 ppm of questionable particles. "Weem" gets 10 ppm reverse osmosis water, with happy nutrients, at the perfect pH.  Who do you think will win?


One of my most favorite sights...  CARROT FLUFF!  And, it's indoors.


The latest round of peat pellets, each row with a different happy type of plant:

Row 1:  Alyssum
Row 2:  Catnip (for Noel)
Row 3:  Marjoram
Row 4:  Ruby Swiss Chard
Row 5:  Cucumber Picklebush
Row 6:  Black Cherry Tomato


Row 7:  Green towers romaine
Row 8:  Mustard
Row 9:  Geofure basil
Row 10:  Green basil
Row 11:  Arugula


Another tomato experiment....  cuttings, shoved into dirt : )
