Two weeks ago I started up my automated hydroponic countertop garden again. I planted lettuce in the unit on the left, and herbs (mostly basil) in the unit on the right. Now, just two weeks later, I ate my first lettuce! I love this!
One of the online gardening groups I belong to had a memorable (to me) post from a woman who lives on one of the Arctic islands in the Canadian archipelago that is in the Northwest Territories. She was so excited to be able to grow fresh vegetables year round! In her tiny village, they will go weeks at a time with no flights in the winter, when they are icebound and isolated. How cool is this!
