I’ve mentioned it in the weekly thread but these are sitting an inch deep in nutrients and water. They drink it down, and I refill it when they need it. Its a hydroponic method called kratky. I don’t have a hose or a lot of room so this might be a good solution for me. Excited to see how it goes!
The energy system we have today does not match the solarpunk future we dream of. If we work towards the right energy system today, we may just have a solarpunk tomorrow
Very cool project and glad to see it’s still going strong. Fun fact: I actually helped plant some of the very first trees here when it was just an empty field.
I was given a small pot with a single sad leaf to try and rescue. I was told it was an African violet. It was repotted and I gave it some fertilizer and it started producing this giant leggy looking leaves. Is this normal? A mutant? It doesn’t look like any violet I’ve seen....
My wife and I walk our dogs on a trail along the Rio Grande every morning, and years ago I found this patch of Mountain Gooseberries. The birds usually get to the ripe ones before I do.

I got sick a week and a half ago, so things got a little messy. We’re back on schedule, tho. Kale has been the hero this season. Couple broccoli doing what I ask. Slugs got all my first round peppers, so on my back foot there....
I would like to eventually begin growing my own food and herbs. Do any of you have good book recommendations for growing food, herbs, or possibly herbal medicine?...

Found this growing in front of someone’s house, beautiful flowers but no idea what tree.
I’ve been slowly converting all of my outdoor lighting to solar and adding more rain barrels for my garden. This got me thinking–what are the rest of you working on? I’d love to see and hear about your projects if you feel like sharing them....
I am not all too knowledgeable about plants and wanted to try my hands with planting seeds and growing them indoors!...
