I started in mid-November and have already had 5 harvests! The outrageous red and oak leaf letteuce have done the best. None of the black seeded Simpson survived. They’re all leggy because of the distance to my grow lights but one of these days I’ll get around to setting up a way to drop them down....
So this year I grew some tomatoes for the first time. They were small but tasty....
And it works great on a balcony or indoor garden! Mint is also naturally pest resistant....
Somebody please help me save this plant. This is a crêpe myrtle. It is a couple months old. It was doing really well and then one day it looked very sad. I dug it up and the roots look really good.

Some years ago, I was learning brussels sprouts and had a few extra starts. I gave most away, but one I planted in a pot for goofs. It stuck around for a few seasons, even surviving a bolt. So, it became Brusselfriend. Three years later it finally bolted and killed itself. A few of the seeds grew into new sprouts and this one...
…hope this is still on topic....
I’ve had irrigation running on my porch for a few years now, so I figured it was worth making a post about how it works, and the pros and cons of it. I’m by no means an expert....
