Hydroponics Tuesday

Nothing To See Here

It's been another week, and things have continued to grow.  As this week's title suggests; there's nothing groundbreaking to report.  Everybody is healthy, and progress is being made. 

Some of the larger plants are already transitioned into their aero-style pots; waiting for the day that the TurboGarden is fired up once more.

Wow.  I should mention again, for anybody who tries it... Growing strawberries from seed takes forever.   #8 is the biggest of my strawberries, at around 2" tall.

Our first picture is of #12, a baby eggplant (on the left) and #17, lime basil (on the right).  I'm almost ready to put them into the aero-style net pots, but it just hasn't been necessary yet.

Our second picture is a wider shot.  You can see the tomato plants in the front, the lettuce all over the place, and the herd of strawberry plants on the right.
