Today I had what MIGHT be the last of the chard and the mustard greens. Or it might not!

And they smell so good. Unfortunately, son is “allergic”.
Oh, damn! I have a reaction to grapefruit, but not enough to keep me from eating it.
Oh no! What will you do with them?

My company offered a selection of holiday/end of year gifts for employees, and one was an indoor herb/lettuce garden that operates with a grow light. I couldn’t resist - that’s what I picked. I’m not even sure I’ll be gardening next year, which breaks my heart, so I’ll have to pour all my love and attention into this little indoor thing.

May I ask - why no garden?
Probably returning to nyc.

I will share with you all my balcony gardening information! If you have some outdoor space to green up.

There are a lot of very energy-efficient LED lights out there, if you want to expand. I just picked up one of these, from CA Lightworks.. That’ll cover a 4x4 foot ( 1.2x1.2m) area, at least. I’m hoping to grow basil, dill, arugula, maybe pea shoots (because they’re good and quick) and a small sage and Thyme. The last two usually die outdoors, do to the humidity.
The biggest issue is how to trap and remove water from under the growing containers. I’m thinking of using these tubs, fitted with a drain hose to run out a sliding glass door nearby.

So glad this thread is still active.
Best time in my usually too hot green house.
It’s starting to rain here, and I am about to submit an article on rainwater harvesting “for use when it’s hot and dry”.
I bought three repurposed food grade “rain barrels” in the interest of research.

This is interesting.
So different in different climates and locations.
And planning for 2023!

Thanks, I appreciate that. Rethinking the idea constantly because of c-19 numbers…

Fun! Water has become pricey in many areas.
We use repurposed barrels to catch filtered water from a reverse osmosis system in the greenhouse. The color of the plastic is a concern: opaque/translucent barrels allow you to see how much water is inside, but algae will start growing. I’m thinking of sewing together a removable weed fabric cover.
Blue or colored barrels can get hot if the sun is on them in hot climates, so they’d need shade in those conditions.
Yes, it’s that time of year!
