A Hydroponics Greenhouse

We've been wanting to experiment with hydroponics (growing in water) for a while. What a great way to get our fresh greens during the non-Summer months! We love lettuce and raw spinach, but after the grocery "contamination" scares, who really wants to risk their health? But every time we go to a gardening show or a special gardening show, we are disappointed that the high price tag hasn't gotten smaller.


Then, on a trip to Hobby Lobby, we came across a kit called "Hydro Greenhouse 2". They are small enough to fit on our dining room table, or in the family room where we have lots of containers of tomatoes, the banana tree, the wonderberries, the blueberries, and the grow lights. So... we bought two for about $20 each.

Planting....

Kit 1: Spinach, Black Seeded Simpson Lettuce, and White Bunching Onions


Kit 2: Spinach, Buttercrunch Lettuce, and Red Bunching Onions (will do next week)


Once we get the hang of this, we'll experiment with little carrots, radishes, parsley, and maybe other things. We'll keep you updated.
